The shiny lighthouse
2000 years ago, Dun Huang's ancient Chinese desert fortress controlled the Han Empire's access to the lucrative Silk Road, a trade route stretching from China to Rome.

After the fall of the Han dynasty, Dun Huang is again unstable and foreign merchants are regularly assaulted. The Emperor sends Cang Ci, a veteran official, to restore order. To expose the hidden criminals in the city, he sets up an alliance with a cunning Sogdian trader, Shayne.
Three hundred years later, China is in chaos and Juqu Mengxun, a powerful tribal warlord, has set his sights on Dun Huang...
