Forlaget skriver:
A picaresque, historical romance featuring Trinket, the irreverent and comic anti-hero so unlike Cha’s more conventional, valorous protagonists.
Readers will meet a vast array of underworld characters, beggars, itinerant (and often fighting) monks, Taoists, Cossacks, Jesuits, herbalists, boatmen, dissident literati, corrupt magistrates, Manchu princes, and Ming loyalists.
