Xu Fu’s Elixir: The Con Man of Qin

Xu Fu conned the most powerful emperor in history. Then he disappeared.Emperor Qin Shi Huang - the man who unified China, built the Great Wall, and buried eight thousand terracotta warriors to protect him in the afterlife - believed his alchemist Xu Fu had found the elixir of immortality. He gave him twelve ships, three hundred children, treasure beyond counting, and his most beloved concubine.Xu Fu gave him a map to Japan.Then he sailed southeast.What Xu Fu built on the other side of the Eastern Sea was more complex than any empire he had studied under Qin - a kingdom of stolen treasure and difficult choices, of love found and lost, of children who grew into something their father never planned for.Including one boy with a birthmark that changed everything.Xu Fu's Elixir: The Con Man of Qin is the story history lost. The voyage that never returned. The kingdom built on a lie. And the standing stones in eastern Taiwan that nobody has been able to explain.Until now.
