In a land surrounded by war, a group of men are forced into a life of banditry in order to help their families. Zen Cho takes Chinese traditions and culture and seamlessly threads suspicions of magic in what the nuns see as mindful practices. The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water starts with a beautiful man, bandits, and a nun. Guet Imm, a young votary of the Order of the Pure Moon, joins up with an eclectic group of thieves (whether they like it or not) in order to protect a sacred object, and finds herself in a far more complicated situation than she could have ever imagined. Zen Cho returns with a found family wuxia fantasy that combines the vibrancy of old school martial arts movies with characters drawn from the margins of history.Ī bandit walks into a coffeehouse, and it all goes downhill from there.
