Sophia and her twin sister Elena are growing up wealthy in Russia until the Revolution sweeps them across the Chinese border and into the clutches of Shanghai. While lovely Elena follows her heart toward marriage with an Englishman, Sophia plunges into dangerous adventure: she falls in love with a daring German mercenary, is entrapped by a terrifying opium smuggling ring, is forced into service as a high-class prostitute, and suffers every woman's deepest nightmare. But still, the future looms bright for young Sophia. For she is the Snow Leopard, the one who seeks light where there is only darkness. And though there will be heartfelt prices to pay, Sophia will ultimately find her dazzling new life - and an unexpected reward she so richly deserves.
