The Extraordinary Eunuch Official is not just another eunuch novel.
It is a book about “what is broken and what is whole”: the body can be castrated, but the soul cannot.
It is a book about “power and responsibility”: power is a blade, and the one who wields it determines whether it is used for good or evil.
It is a book about “history and the future”: only those who understand history are qualified to shape the future.
It is also a book about “martial arts, political intrigue, and war”: there are flashing blades, schemes and treachery, and the thunder of armies on the march.
Lin An’s story begins in a dilapidated room in the Laundry Bureau.
His destination is the sea.
And beyond the sea lies a brand-new era.
