Sword and Khan — Michael Mounts

Prisoner, Pirate, soldier, and warlord, the Gentle Stepper, Ju-Dan climbs up from the lowest disgrace in this stunning Eleventh volume of her adventures. From the seas of the far south, to the coastal cities of the far north, Ju-Dan battles her enemies in service to her masters with brutal efficiency. Rivals are cut down with ruthless, surgical efficiency. Terrors are faced, and monsters are defeated. Exploding shells fly, bombs burst in air, and before it is over, you will believe a horse soldier can capture a battleship. Ju-Dan fights for justice, yet she cuts down her enemies like the bloodiest barbarian. Indeed, long before her time with the Khan is done, Ju-Dan will find herself covered in blood fighting his foes.
