Daiyu was named after a ghost . . .
Little Daiyu is twelve when her parents disappear. So she runs, disguising herself as a boy, to sweep the steps of Master Wang's calligraphy school in Zhifu.
But this is just the beginning of a journey that sends her across an ocean to San Francisco and the lawless American west.
Kidnapped. Trafficked. Betrayed.
Prize virgin in a brothel.
Passion. Revenge. Freedom.
A woman in a man's world.
Daiyu fears her name is a curse on her life.
But what if it might yet set her free?
