| Summary |
"It's a race against time, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that offered fortunes and tears in equal measure--tears mostly due to the distinct chance of being gutted by an opportunistic supernatural being. Somewhere among the trade cities lost to the ages, the Tiger Thieves--assassins who once guarded the Silk Road against the monsters that preyed on ancient caravans--still hide. It's a shame no one has seen one of them in more than five hundred years, since they're the only ones who can help Owl stop the world from descending into paranormal chaos in all its eviscerating glory. From a Peruvian jail to Venice to Timbuktu, Owl searches for the Tiger Thieves in the hopes of convincing them to join her--all the while fetching artifacts and weapons for Mr. Kurosawa, her employer (who also happens to be a temperamental dragon), as he prepares for a brewing supernatural war. Considering diplomatic negotiations aren't exactly Owl's strong suit, she has her work cut out for her. Not to mention, her sidekick on this adventure leaves a lot to be desired and little to trust. Poking a tiger is never a good idea, and tangling with the ancient assassins will take everything Owl has. Eventually, she'll have to decide whether she's a wayward archaeologist or just another coldhearted thief." -- Back cover. |
