In Ken Liu’s silkpunk* epic fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty, the heroes are engineers, not wizards: a wily, charismatic bandit and the vengeance-sworn son of a deposed duke cross paths as they each lead their own rebellion against the emperor's brutal regime. Together, they will journey to the heart of the empire and their unlikely friendship will drastically change the balance of power in Dara... but at what price?
* A technology aesthetic based on a science fictional elaboration of traditions of engineering in East Asia’s classical antiquity.
