OLDER FICTION
Yang, Dori Jones

Daughter of Xanadu

(4) YA Emmajin, unconventional (fictional) granddaughter of Kublai Kahn, plans never to marry and instead join the Mongolian army. Her first assignment brings her close to trader Marco Polo; little does she expect that this imaginative explorer will cause her to examine her values, her goals, and her heart. Though it's a bit overwrought, Emmajin's story is dynamic and well plotted.
