We’re delighted to announce the arrival of Nezha, the first book in a new series called Heroes of Ancient China. This series will feature mortals and gods from Chinese mythology, with each book written using a restricted vocabulary of around 500 words.

Here’s a quick summary of the book:

Born with miraculous powers and a fearless spirit, young Nezha is destined for greatness, but his path is far from easy.

From his legendary battle with the Dragon King to his rebirth through a lotus flower, Nezha’s journey is one of resilience, justice, and transformation. Guided by his master Taiyi Zhenren and armed with divine weapons, he takes a stand against tyranny, joining Jiang Ziya in an epic battle to destroy the corrupt Shang dynasty.
