Description
Li Fu is a servant to the First Emperor - not an easy job, as the emperor is known for his fierce temper and unusual punishments. The boy dreams of one day joining his army, like his brother; however, his master won't let him go because he likes the soothing music that he plays with his harp. When Li Fu discovers that there is a plot against the emperor's life, his role becomes more important than he could've imagined - as he must uncover the assassin, before it's too late...
