What future is there for such a girl? But a mysterious figure steps forward and offers to instruct her in the highest forms of martial arts—a path to a life of strength and independence.</p> <p>Half a world away in England, a young boy's idyllic summer on the Sussex downs implodes with the firing of a single bullet.

He dreams of escaping to find his beloved friend—but the friend is in China, ten thousand miles away.</p> <p>The girl trains to be deadly. The boy flees across continents. They do not know it yet, but their lives are already inextricably bound together, and will collide one fateful night when they least expect it.</p> <p><i>Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon</i> meets Downton Abbey, this remarkable tale of friendship, danger, and coming of age will stay with you long after you have finished the last page.</p> <p>A prequel to <i>My Beautiful Enemy</i>.</p>.
