Song of the Silk Road is a romantic adventure on China's fabled route with the lure of a three-million dollar reward.

As a girl growing up in Hong Kong, Lily Lin was captivated by photographs of the Silk Road and its desert -- its long, lonely vistas and shifting sand dunes.

Now living in New York Lily is struggling to finish her great Asian American novel when she receives an astonishing offer. An aunt she never knew existed will pay Lily a huge sum to travel the Silk Road and across the dangerous Taklamakan desert -- and to carry out a series of tasks.

Lily’s assignments range from the dangerous to the bizarre. She must seduce a monk, scrape a piece of clay from the famous Terracotta Warriors, and climb the Mountains of Heaven to gather a rare herb. During her journey, Lily meets Alex, a young American with whom she fell passionately in love. Soon, she faces revelations that will redefine her past, her destiny, and the shocking truth behind her aunt’s motivation...
