“A meditation on life, consciousness and letting go, in the form of a book you can't stop reading.”

Monica Rector, professor emeritus of literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

See what readers from science, literature and martial arts are saying.

This is the story of a young woman raised in the mountains of Wudang, China, a sacred place for kung fu and Daoism, who moved to California to become a professional fighter. For as long as she can remember, Yinyin heard she was poised to become part of something big. Then it happened. She was invited to join a scientific experiment that would allow her to connect her brain to others and become so powerful, she would become unbeatable. Though it would also require her to allow others to have access to family secrets she has sworn to protect.
