The Deer and the Cauldron: The Third Book

The third and final volume of the picaresque historical romance by one of China's most popular authors deals with Satrap Wu Sangui's imminent bid for Imperial Power and Trinket's increasingly complex attempts to balance his own multiple identities: as friend and confidant of the Emperor Kang Xi, as the White Dragon Marshal of the Mystic Dragon Sect, and as one of the Lodge Masters of the Triad Secret Society.

Trinket's love life poses even more challenges, as he simultaneously juggles several beautiful women and unwittingly comes face to face with the beautiful Chen Yuan Yuan, known as the Peerless Consort, and the Russian Princess Sophia.
