Get swept up in a vibrant, epic fantasy with "The Water Outlaws" by S. L. Huang. Inspired by a 14th-century Chinese classic, the story centres on Lin Chong, an expert commissioned to train the Emperor's finest soldiers on how to use every weapon at their disposal. She's not a rebel by any means, but when her carefully planned life is torn away from her by a man out for revenge, she's forced to disappear. In disguise and on the run, she's recruited by the Bandits of Liangshan, vigilantes determined to see justice done — and, in the process, they might take down an empire.
