Envoys of Celestials
Adventures of Takuan from Koto, Part 3. Envoys of Celestials
When gods give a mission to jump, mortals jump. Powerful sorcerer Alastar receives a visit from the Under Lord himself. He travels to a different side of the world and brings along Bricabrac, a lesser able man. Desperate in their lust for power, the two sorcerers hunt anyone who has even a smallest magical implement.
We won't join their journey. Or will we? The Goddess of the West gives her envoys new tasks. Soliang brings his learnings to the mountain monasteries. The monk's magical powers are passed to his most devoted student, who leads the sacred quest.
It is the end where all journeys meet.
Light and humorous fantasy full of adventures, action, magic and mischief for all ages: children, teens, and adults.
Enjoy this book with your kids and family.
Ryu Zhong
‘Ryu’ means ‘dragon’ in Japanese, and ‘Zhong’ can be translated from Chinese as ‘liaison’. This amalgam of languages represents the fusion of cultures that characterises the writings of Ryu Zhong.
In their books, Ryu Zhong explore challenges that humanity might face as our technology gets more and more complicated to the level where it becomes magic. Such a shift would force people to look towards religion and reinterpret realities that today, we call fairy tales.
Ryu Zhong were lucky to be born and grow in Asia. Now they live in Amsterdam, study Dutch, and translate their writings to English.
