The Crocodile Princess - Robyn Paterson - Bog

The gambler nicknamed Little Gou doesn't stick his neck out for anyone, but when he finds out his lost love has three of China's top assassins running her down, even he has his limits.

Now, it's a race against time to find the woman who walked out on him and solve the mystery of the mysterious box that has sent the martial underworld into chaos and threatens to unleash a deadly secret on the whole empire. But, when he finds her, what then? Keeping her alive is one thing- keeping her close is another.
In the spirit of movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Crocodile Princess is a martial arts action & adventure thriller set in the Jianghu martial underworld of Old China. Through a combination of wits, swordplay and kung fu, the martial artist Little Gou, and his companion the warrior nun Sister Cat, must uncover the truth behind a deadly plot to bring the martial underworld to its knees, or die trying.
