Sara, Sanjeev and Salma are transported back in time to Xi'an, during a perilous trial pitting their wits against a formidable and violent foe who has escaped from his thousand-year imprisonment and is bent on revenge. Salma Mansour is a black belt in taekwondo, a skill she will need to stay alive. One second, she’s in the British Museum, the next a thousand years away in a battle between the Saxons and Vikings. And she’s supposed to help? Things momentarily brighten when she encounters Sara and Sanjeev, who seem to understand. They don’t have much time to plan though; without warning, all three are transported to Xi'an, stronghold of Chan, a wealthy gang leader bent on immortality. Chan has kidnapped world-famous geneticist Lin Dan and assembled fragments of an ancient magic. Chan will stop at nothing to fulfil his dream even if it means releasing forces far beyond his control. The Three Hares must work together to defeat Chan and the power that controls him… or else. AUTHORS: Scott Lauder was born in Ayrshire, Scotland.
