He has the most striking sapphire-blue eyes, and - more importantly - he appears to know every aspect of the future. Randall Chen is a time-traveller who, with the help of his fellow Overseer Wilson Dowling, has been sent back on a mission to protect the greatest treasure in Asia. But even with Randall's exceptional foresight he will underestimate Empress Ci Xi, a calculating Manchurian beauty with an insatiable lust for power. Using her considerable intellect and charm to draw in the mysterious blue-eye, she will turn his powers to her advantage. And the consequences will echo throughout the ages...
