Witness an account of intrigue and death at the court of the Emperor
Watch the past come to life in this gripping comic-book story. Travel back in time to Ancient China. Meet Shen, a talented zither player taken from his home to play for the great Emperor at court. It's a great honour and a dangerous mission.
