The Thirteen Orphans are descendants of exiles from mysterious magical Lands, each connected to one of the animals of the Chinese zodiac. When rivals from the Lands arrive on Earth and become trapped by a civil war back home, former enemies must form an uneasy alliance.
Their plan is to reopen the Nine Gates linking Earth with the Lands, but attacks, rival magical traditions, theft, and possible betrayal threaten them from every direction. Jane Lindskold blends Chinese mythology, mah-jong symbolism, mystery, and contemporary fantasy into an imaginative struggle between two worlds.
The second volume of Jane Lindskold’s Breaking the Wall trilogy, following Thirteen Orphans. Its combination of Chinese mythology, zodiac lore, hidden magic, and modern fantasy gives the series a distinctive identity. This is a particularly useful inventory copy because completing the trilogy would create an attractive fantasy set.
Second book of the three-volume Breaking the Wall series. Tor paperback edition with cover artwork by Sam Weber.
