Fiction - General

Yen Se has lost everything to the Khan's brutality.Left with one eye and one leg, he is forced out of his home village to work in the city as a horse handler. Witness to the Khan's violent crusade, their raids sweeping across Eurasia, he travels with the theatre of war, but exists outside of it; stunned every morning to find himself alive.Yen Se moves randomly across Europe with a loose band of survivors - men who think of survival, men who think of resistance, and women who dare to dream of peace.Whilst narrated by a male, women are at the forefront of this story; often the most active of the characters, both for their plight and for their guidance.Imperial Harvest tells the story of war, but more importantly, of hope.
