Description
Why is the dragon the only fantasy creature in the Chinese zodiac? Maybe it's because dragons aren't a fantasy after all....
Moli has never seen a dragon, but she'd imagined one many times. Following the death of her father, a museum curator and historian, her need to escape from the real world has never felt so acute.
Travelling from China to London to attend the funeral, Moli takes the opportunity to visit her father's last exhibition, "The Lost Dynasty of Rouran". The trip reveals Moli's connection to an ancient khanate and, unexpectedly, opens the door to another realm. This is just the beginning of an adventure that takes her travelling through time to a world of shamans, rituals, conqueror worms, dragon chariots and even a confrontation with the world's greatest foes.
To save humanity, Moli and an unlikely quartet of heroes are sent back in history, but can they outrun a fate worse than death? And where does reality end and magic begin? Enter a world where everything is possible....

Fun Folklore Fuelled Fable With a Serious Heart
If you are anything like me and love a bit of folklore then this book is for you. The wealth of old stories intertwined with the tale of Moli as she negotiates grief, discrimination, and an incredible legacy is artfully done and full of surprises.
Fantasy writing is crying out for more characters like Moli. I took to her right away and will be following her subsequent adventures with her three compatriots.
It took a while to get going. I was keen to meet the dragons and other creatures, but when they arrived they didn't disappoint, and then I appreciated the effort the author had gone to to build the story to a point where things could really take off.
And take off they do.
Along the way, there are thoughtful diversions in political philosophy, debates about the motivation for war, and alternative viewpoints regarding the covid-19 pandemic amongst other concerns that we all share today.
Bringing folklore to the fore in a modern setting, and making the fantastic real is a tough gig, but Ruckus really pulls it off like a proper ink-slinger should. I'm going to have to read it again to catch all the little bits I missed the first time around, the proverbs, the questions, and the language lessons!
