Her destiny-if she has one-lies more than a continent away, at the very edge of the known world.
If Johanna is to find a future for herself, she\'ll have to rely on her wits, the vagaries of fortune, and a close-knit circle of friends and traveling companions.
Dynastic loyalties are shifting, petty jealousies lead to cold-blooded murders, and the long knives are coming out.
In the wake of her father\'s death, however, Johanna finds that lineage counts for little amid the disintegrating court of the Khan.
Johanna is, after all, the granddaughter of Marco Polo.
