Book One: Trials of Chaos is a romanticized retelling of the Three Kingdoms Era in ancient China. This time of feudal warfare has inspired everything from plays, to shrines, to folklore, movies, novels, and even video games. Trials of Chaos draws from all the past reincarnations of the battles and generals and combines their popular conceptions with a modern flavor of dialogue and suspense. Trials of Chaos adds emotion and intrigue to the lives of such famed characters as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. Even the less popularized generals, such as Yu Jin and Cheng Pu are given the credit they are due. Book One spans the era from the Yellow Turban Insurrection 184 CE to the fall of Yuan Shao at Guan Du 200 CE. Each chapter focuses on a particular character and fleshes out their web of intertwined back stories. Conspiracy, affairs of love, and courageous shows of prowess carry this re-envisioned telling of the Three Kingdoms Era forward at a pace that will keep the pages turning. Here the two stopped underneath the crumbling peach tree canopy. Liu Bei raised his hand and caught a falling petal in his palm.'Everything must die, Guan Yu. That is the nature of this secular world. Nothing stays, no matter how beautiful, no matter how strong. The chaos is spreading. Can’t you feel it? My body aches at night, for when it wakes, the Han might have disappeared. That’s all it would take, one mistake, one night.' ~ From Book One: Trials of Chaos
