When China is desperate and the Emperor is unwilling to help, four princes must take action against their father.
Plot Overview
In ancient China, there was a drought so bad that the people of China begged the emperor to help them. When he refused, his four sons take action against him. This leads to all out war between the people of China and the Chinese government. This story, based on a Chinese Fairy tale, is going to focus around the four sons (Names TBC) and will hopefully be a compelling drama that will keep readers interested and engaged.
I am still plotting at the moment, I will post some preview work as interest grows and I actually get round to writing it. While I know this isn't a lot to go on at the moment, I will post chapters, Character information and plot details when I feel they are ready and final (Final being used lightly here as I have learned sometimes you have to change major parts of your story). FYI, this book is not actually about dragons, the title comes from the Chinese legend it is based on.
It does sound interesting, like one of those old Chinese Kung fu movies from back in the day. I'd like to see how you go about writing it and where it goes. Write it, I'd like to read it!
Definitely sounds interesting and in the fantasy genre, not many tackle setting's like ancient China. You could possibly take some inspiration from Luo Ghuanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a must-read for anyone interested in historical-fiction related to ancient China.
Well, seems to be a great story, can't wait to read it! :) when are you posting it? 100 points.

Well a, let me know when you post some chapters. :)
Definitely sounds interesting. I love reading about other cultures, and I'm sure that you as the writer will have a lot of fun researching into the culture.
Awesome Jack, good start. Dragons are fantastic to read about and China is an exotic and interesting country as well.

I'm too literal sometimes, and now that I see the metaphor, it's powerful.
This sounds like it's going to be very good! I read a bunch of James clavell at one point and I love these kinds of themes. Best wishes!
