BLURB:
Across centuries—power and peril—one fire endures.
Two eras. One relentless quest for truth amid desires and temptation. Across the centuries, two men are bound by parallel destinies that echo through time. Book 3 of this dual-time odyssey delves deep into the passions and struggles that connect their worlds.
In 2022 Hong Kong, Jason Guan, after losing his job as an assistant supervisor for wetland conservation, joins his uncle’s real-estate business. A chance meeting with his high school classmate, Vivian Jiang, draws him into a web of secrecy, seduction, and moral compromise. Amid the chaos, he and his wife, Debra, read an unpublished manuscript by her father, a celebrated writer, about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1851–1864) and a man’s futile pursuit of justice and peace on earth.
In nineteenth-century China, Zhang Xin, an orphan saved from the streets by Missionary Issachar Jacox Roberts, is swept into the fiery rebellion of the Taiping movement. Torn between the dream of a just kingdom, his forbidden love for Miao Lan, and his loyalty to his ruthless brother, Xin reckons with doubt, conscience, and the cost of faith.
When greed and exploitation eclipse justice, both men must navigate their respective perils. Will they prevail or be consumed?
At once a political thriller and a historical epic, this novel tracks the embers that survive every age.

EXCERPT
He tried not to look at her lips, the hollow at her collarbone, and the outline of her curves beneath the thin silk. “Have you heard about the Dawn Island Gospel Drug Addiction Treatment Centre in Hong Kong?” He cleared his throat again. “The program there recognizes the need to go beyond just addressing the addiction itself. Volunteers like us take the time to understand the person’s history, substance use, and mental health status. Based on that, we create a personalized treatment plan.”
Vivian sank deeper into the sofa, one foot curled beneath her. “The gospel again, huh?” Tease edged her tone. “Ever wonder if you’re missing out on fun, always being the decent Jason?”
A nervous chuckle slipped out. He stared down at his hands, knuckles white where they gripped his phone. “It’s more about not wanting to ruin what I’ve been given.” He glanced up, the confession raw.
Vivian’s smile faded. She motioned for him to sit down. “You don’t have to be so uptight.”
“Actually, I’d better leave right now.” He patted his pockets as if he’d just remembered a task. “I forgot I have to prepare for my talk. Thanks for the invite, anyway.”
Her face dropped. Then she gave a practiced shrug. “Of course. Can’t let your fans down.”
He hurried toward the exit. “Thanks for the wine. Next time, Debra and I will invite you to our place.”
As he fled, the sweet scent of her penthouse clung to him.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
From a young age, I cultivated a profound love of reading and writing. I would spend hours at the library, devouring every book on a single shelf before moving on to the next. It seems I have a longing that can’t be satisfied by reality. Immersing myself in literature allows me to escape into worlds where I could become someone graceful, witty, and popular.
Currently, I work for a small biotech company and have published 120+ scientific books and papers. As a latecomer to the world of creative writing, I’ve released several books under different pen names. R. F. Whong is the pen name used for publishing fiction titles, whereas Ruth Wuwong is the chosen name for non-fiction books. I’m delighted to share that I’ve been named a Featured Author by the Minnesota Anoka County Library in 2025 and by the Suffolk Virginia Authors Festival in 2026. One of my books, Echoes over Stormy Sea, won a few awards, including being chosen by readers as a winner in the 2025 HOLT Medallion Contest.
I’m married to my wonderful husband, a retired pastor who encourages me to pursue my dreams. We served together at three different churches from 1987 to 2020. Our adult son works in a nearby city.
