Short description
A border town in Ancient China is a perilous place—especially for a desolate girl with no father. So, when Cricket bumps into an administrator’s wife with a bag full of copper coins, she eagerly agrees to deliver her firewood. But why does the woman need firewood in the summer? And why do soldiers stop and question them? Does it have anything to do with the raid at Xitang last Spring?Extended description
A border town in Ancient China is a perilous place—especially for a desolate girl with no father. So, when Cricket bumps into an administrator’s wife with a bag full of copper coins, she eagerly agrees to deliver her firewood.But why does the woman need firewood in the summer? And why do soldiers stop and question them? Does it have anything to do with the raid at Xitang last Spring?
The woman is strange, Cricket decides. She’s smart and arrogant, like a man. Too arrogant. Too much like a man. Dangerous like a man. It’s only when they reach the abandoned alley by the docks that Cricket learns how dangerous. There, she must decide whether to join the woman’s cause or risk her own life to defy her.
