Adopted from China as an infant, Victoria Solana, an average Canadian teenager, celebrates her sixteenth birthday growing up in a small, inconspicuous town in southern Ontario. All of a sudden, her peaceful world turns topsy-turvy. She must run from two armed men-in-black and an intimidating one-eyed stalker in relentless pursuit. Guided by a shady art dealer, she embarks on a dangerous journey to China to uncover the truth about her mysterious background. Victoria realizes her biological mother was a warrior in ancient China and her father was the chief of an influential nomadic tribe in another era. Victoria is separated from each of her parents by thousands of years. Moreover, she learns about a secret clan which has been intervening in pivotal historical events in China. They believe in an oracle about a cataclysmic catastrophe called the "Stopping Of The Sun." The Apocalypse is at hand, and the secret clan believes Victoria is the long-awaited saviour. Time is running out, and humanity's survival depends on the Canadian teenager evading her pursuers and reuniting with her parents. To Victoria's surprise, she learns she must achieve the impossible feat of stopping hundreds of millions of aliens from colonizing Earth. This science fiction/historical mystery evokes the spirit of Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang (adapted into the sci-fi movie Arrival) and The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin (adapted into a Netflix mini-series) on steroids. As a bonus, the reader will become an expert on China. Get your copy now. Carpe Liber-seize the book!
