520    "As a girl growing up in Hong Kong, Lily Lin was 
       captivated by photographs of the desert--its long, lonely 
       vistas and shifting sand dunes. Now living in New York, 
       Lily is struggling to finish her graduate degree when she 
       receives an astonishing offer. An aunt she never knew 
       existed will pay Lily a huge sum to travel across China's 
       desolate Taklamakan Desert--and carry out a series of 
       tasks along the way. Intrigued, Lily accepts. Her 
       assignments range from the dangerous to the bizarre. Lily 
       must seduce a monk. She must scrape a piece of clay from 
       the famous Terracotta Warriors, and climb the Mountains of
       Heaven to gather a rare herb. At Xian, her first stop, 
       Lily meets Alex, a young American with whom she forms a 
       powerful connection. And soon, she faces revelations that 
       will redefine her past, her destiny, and the shocking 
       truth behind her aunt's motivations..."--P. [4] of cover.
