Dragon, Book 1: The Story of the Trung Sisters - Paperback

by Mel Bridges (Author)

Dragon is a vivid tale of courage, betrayal, and the unyielding pursuit of freedom. We journey back to the turbulent days of the Chinese Han Dynasty's iron grip over Vietnam. For the Vietnamese population, mainly toiling as rice farmers, the burden of hefty tributes demanded by the Chinese rulers only compounded their hardships.

Amidst oppression and subjugation, two sisters emerge as unlikely heroes. Trưng Trắc and Trưng Nhị, daughters of a village leader, harbor a fire that refuses to be extinguished. When tragedy strikes, their resolve ignites into rebellion. Their legacy reverberates across time, inspiring generations to come.
