In her new book, "Bridge across the Land" (published by Trafford Publishing), Yvonne Wang takes readers to 1241, to the time of the Mongol invasion of Europe - a time of a giant cultural collision. The Mongolian troops slaughter scores of people in Moscow, and the people of Poland fear the encroaching army.

As the King and Prince of Poland anxiously await the Mongols' next move, they have no idea that a team of assassins have decided to assassinate the Great Khan of Mongolia. To execute their plan, they capitalized on the opportunity of escorting the Mongolian Princess, while the Princess grows up in Poland without knowing her identity before.

However, the plan falls apart as one of the assassins and the princess fall in love. As their paths merge, they discover each other's underlining identities. The assassins, the Prince of Poland and the Mongolian Princess struggle, hesitate, and grow in the cruel battlefields full of neigh, sword and fire. After spilling blood and shedding tears, they start to reconsider their missions. Does justice conflict with conscience? What is the most precious pursuit in life? They fight not only with the outer surroundings, but also with their own souls.

Along with romance, action and war, Wang uses the story to develop themes of political liberty and equality. The principles demonstrate the thoughts of self-discovery and self-reflection. As a native of China, she sees a similar awakening taking place in her home country. "In China, the awakening of individualism is emerging," she says. "Under the influence of Western culture, multidimensional value in young people's heart heads and minds lead to doubts about traditions and the pursuit of freedom. It is the same struggle my characters face."
