Great Sea

Mankind’s annals don’t get darker. Delve into the deadliest pandemic ever known. No one knew where it came from, and at a certain point, it didn’t matter because it seemed to be everywhere...stalking the land with silent menace. It clung to people and animals like a second skin, traveling to distant places on the backs of traders and travelers who didn’t even know they were dead. It could kill swiftly and brutally, or slowly and painfully, and no one knew if they had it until it was far too late.

China loomed large on the world stage. Wealth, power, and hundreds of years of rule by the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty catapulted them to new heights, but with power and prestige came those who would do anything to usurp their authority and undermine their sense of stability. The British Empire and its faithful allies devised a masterful plan and executed it with stark precision. Vicious lies, cheating, and stealing were only the beginning of what they had in store for the nation.
