About this Item

Hardcover. It's like the start of a bad joke: A Master of Tomes, his apprentice, and ninety world-saving records get lost at sea.Unfortunately for Mei Li, the joke is her life. For two years she's been stranded in a remote village with no knowledge of where her master is or what's going on in the world. What she does know is (a) she refuses to be sacrificed to the "god" the villagers think live on the mountain, and (b) she fully plans on negotiating with said "god" (who, luckily for her, turns out to be a dragon more than happy to rescue her). Her relief over being rescued is short-lived when she learns that her master is still lost, along with the tomes detailing how to address pesky problems like five-thousand-year-old sleeping demons and disintegrating harbor walls-both of which threaten calamity within the next two months. To make matters worse, the Tomes Masters are the only people in the world who carry the knowledge of how to defeat these-as well as myriad other-looming disasters. With her master gone, everyone is looking to Mei Li for answers she doesn't have. Her options are to solve the disasters-with high potential for the world ending-or somehow find Master and the missing tomes.Right now, Mei Li wants to go back in time and punch her six-year-old self for being an idiot. Being able to read books all day is not worth the stress of dealing with ancient evil things on a regular basis. This item is printed on demand.

Synopsis

It's like the start of a bad joke: A Master of Tomes, his apprentice, and ninety world-saving records get lost at sea...

Unfortunately for Mei Li, the joke is her life. For two years she's been stranded in a remote village with no knowledge of where her master is or what's going on in the world. What she does know is (a) she refuses to be sacrificed to the "god" the villagers think live on the mountain, and (b) she fully plans on negotiating with said "god" (who, luckily for her, turns out to be a dragon more than happy to rescue her).

Her relief over being rescued is short-lived when she learns that her master is still lost, along with the tomes detailing how to address pesky problems like five-thousand-year-old sleeping demons and disintegrating harbor walls-both of which threaten calamity within the next two months. To make matters worse, the Tomes Masters are the only people in the world who carry the knowledge of how to defeat these-as well as myriad other-looming disasters.

With her master gone, everyone is looking to Mei Li for answers she doesn't have. Her options are to solve the disasters-with high potential for the world ending-or somehow find Master and the missing tomes.

Right now, Mei Li wants to go back in time and punch her six-year-old self for being an idiot. Being able to read books all day is not worth the stress of dealing with ancient evil things on a regular basis.
