The Silk Road

By Teanna Porter

Description The year is 850 AD, and the Silk Road stretches across continents like a shimmering thread of opportunity, linking the East and the West through trade, culture, and intrigue. Spanning from the Tang Dynasty's majestic capital of Chang'an to the opulent courts of the Abbasid Caliphate, this vast network of commerce is alive with merchants, diplomats, scholars, and spies-all vying for influence and fortune. At the heart of this world stands Li Wei, a young merchant determined to carve his own path beyond the shadow of his father's legacy.
