The Emperor's Lattice Robert Santacroce

The Emperor's Lattice is a tale of one young man's dream of recreating a 3000 year old design originally made for the amusement of an Empress. First made as a death defining challenge for those wishing the hand of the Princess and territory of Imperial lands. In modern times, a high-line trial and obstacle, worthy of only the most talented aerial artists in the world. For Lee Wang, his vision to construct his childhood story of the magnificent lattice becomes a labor of skill, determination and love. It is an intriguing mixture of the will and insight of a small group of supportive friends, together with Lee, wishing successfully to stretch a woven lattice between twin bridges. It is a story of a design worthy to be flying high above the river at the precise location, where three-millennium earlier, the resolve of one young peasant man, overcame the fears of the abyss to become a victor and Prince.
