The Hunt Is on: Book 1

Xinyue and his brother Qiliu are seekers, hunting aweto: a rare, plantlike treasure.

A single aweto has the power to cure the ill. Its rarest form may even grant eternal life. To seize their bounty, the seekers must rob the massive, majestic earth deities from which aweto sprout--sometimes leaving a trail of chaos behind them.

After a raid along the legendary Silk Road, Xinyue discovers the child of one of these strange creatures. He soon becomes the little deity's caretaker. Now he must keep it safe and keep it a secret. But warriors from the creature's village are close behind, and more fearsome thieves wait ahead . . .
