In this, Book II of The House of Graves, John Thomas’ electrifying confrontation with Chinese assassin Archibald Feng Yun-shan, Leader of the Empire of the Sleeping Dragon continues, while dishonored Royal Navy officer Harry Scrimshaw becomes the only stabilizing force against the overwhelming presence and vague ethics of Lord Warfield Blackwood Bunting and Prince Monar.
