Guardians of the Golden Urns is a historical fantasy novel that blends Chinese mythology, imperial history, and modern intrigue into a sweeping multigenerational family saga. From ancient China to present-day San Francisco, six mystical Golden Urns safeguard the spirits of individuals once honored for extraordinary service to China's emperors. For centuries, a single family of Guardians has protected these sacred vessels, bound by duty, sacrifice, and secrets passed down through generations. When betrayal, terminal illness, and a dangerous debt to an underworld casino operator expose the urns' existence, the next generation of Guardians is forced to confront a legacy they can no longer hide from-or outrun. As ancient spirits awaken, past lives resurface, and powerful forces close in, the family must decide what they are willing to sacrifice to protect the urns-and what they may ultimately lose. Blending mythological folklore with historical adventure and contemporary suspense, Guardians of the Golden Urns explores themes of loyalty, reincarnation, cultural identity, destiny, and love across centuries and cultures.
