Mei is a modern, independent Chinese woman. She runs her own business in Beijing, working as a private investigator; she owns a car; she even has that most modern of commodities, a male secretary. One day, ‘Uncle’ Chen - no relation but a close friend of her mother’s - comes to Mei with a case to investigate. He asks her to find the Eye of Jade, a Han dynasty artefact of great value. The Eye of Jade was taken from its museum during the years of the Cultural Revolution when Red Guards swarmed the streets, destroying many remnants of the past. Mei’s investigations reveal a story that has far more to do with the past, and her own family history, than she could ever have expected. This story forces her to delve into that dark part of China’s history, Mao’s labour camps and the countless deaths for which no-one was ever held responsible. It exposes the agonising choices made during the Revolution, to kill or be killed, to love or to live. Eye of Jade is a fascinating glimpse of city life in modern China. Liang captures vividly Beijing’s bustle and noise, from seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars to the splendour of the Forbidden City. Through a rich cast of characters including immigrant workers and government officials, she examines the sometimes uneasy relationship between China’s brutal communist past and its increasingly capitalist present.

"Having her own detective agency would give her the independence she had always longed for. It would also give her the chance to show those people who shunned her that she could be successful. People were getting rich. They owned property, money, business, and cars. With new freedom and opportunities came new crimes. There would be much that she could do." Present day, Beijing. Mei Wang is a modern, independent woman. She has her own apartment. She owns a car. She has her own business with that most modern of commodities -- a male secretary. Her short career with China's prestigious Ministry for Public Security has given her intimate insight into the complicated and arbitrary world of Beijing's law enforcement. But it is her intuition, curiosity, and her uncanny knack for listening to things said -- and unsaid -- that make Mei Beijing's first successful female private investigator. Mei is no stranger to the dark side of China. She was six years old when she last saw her father behind the wire fence of one of Mao's remote labor camps. Perhaps as a result, Mei eschews the power plays and cultural mores -- guanxi -- her sister and mother live by...for better and for worse. Mei's family friend "Uncle" Chen hires her to find a Han dynasty jade of great value: he believes the piece was looted from the Luoyang Museum during the Cultural Revolution -- when the Red Guards swarmed the streets, destroying so many traces of the past -- and that it's currently for sale on the black market. The hunt for the eye of jade leads Mei through banquet halls and back alleys, seedy gambling dens and cheap noodle bars near the Forbidden City. Given the jade's provenance and its journey, Mei knows to treat the investigation as a most delicate matter; she cannot know, however, that this case will force her to delve not only into China's brutal history, but also into her family's dark secrets and into her own tragic separation from the man she loved in equal parts. The first novel in an exhilarating new detective series, The Eye of Jade is both a thrilling mystery and a sensual and fascinating journey through modern China.

What if one day you discovered that your entire life is based on a lie? It's late when Taris-sin decides to end her reading. She closes the pages of the book and leaves it aside on a table dedicated to such purpose. An idea has been fluttering in her head for hours—the strong conviction that she must do something to prevent her father from marrying her against her wishes. She has to escape. The deadline is approaching, and there are many preparations she must face if she truly intends to avoid that terrible outcome that will shape the rest of her life. She won't allow her youth and inexperience to be obstacles to the adventures she eagerly anticipates, far from the exotic content that fills her books. Neither will her condition as a half-elf in a human world restrain her desires for freedom. "What will I need? Clothes, food, water, a horse, money…" Taris-sin plans, her jade eyes shining with enthusiasm. Little does the young woman imagine how much lies have been part of her existence, nor the dark legacy that hangs over her… In the northern lands, on the other side of the vast continent of Aekhan, a young ranger goes out to explore, yet another day, the snow-white forests surrounding his home. Intoxicated by the exhilarating sensations that those wild territories provide, he is unaware that from a very different place, his name has been spoken and marked for death. Syntyma is the first of the three volumes that make up the epic fantasy novel Jade Eyes.
