The Passing of the Dragon

by Ken Liu

Description

In a world where power is inherited through myth and memory, a new generation confronts the cost of keeping old promises alive. As alliances shift and secrets surface, the story follows characters drawn into a struggle over identity, legacy, and what it truly means to “carry” a legend forward. With sweeping emotional stakes and sharply observed human choices, the narrative explores themes of cultural inheritance, moral responsibility, and the fragile line between tradition and transformation. Ken Liu’s distinctive, lyrical storytelling blends epic imagination with intimate character depth, delivering a tale that feels both mythic and urgently personal.
