On the dangerous Silk Road – the age-old trade route that runs all the way from Europe to China – a young woman, Asena, is captured by a Shaolin devotee, Swiftarrow. Asena is taken to the ancient city of Peking, where she is forced to begin her life anew and learn the ways of the Shaolin. But just as love blossoms between Asena and her captor, a deadly political game threatens to ruin not only their feelings for each other, but also their lives.

Actual rating of 2.5 I loved the concept of this book. However, I felt it was a little dry. I didn't feel connected to the characters at all until the last few chapters. I would have liked a little more to the story, I felt that it was just starting to draw me in right as it ended. I would have liked a little more about Asena and her rekindled shamanic powers, a little more about how she dealt with everything afterwards.
I totally loved this book.. it was well written and I could really feel that I was in the character shoe's. Oh and if Swift Arrow was a real boy I would totally marry him :D I totally connected to this book :) it bought me tears and there were heart warming moments.. It's sooo awesome it should be made into a movie :)
