Robert Thurston

A rising junior at Rye Country Day School in Rye, New York, Robert Wang conceived the Wars and Heroes series during the pandemic year of 2020, when his school days went virtual. A Kingdom in Turmoil was published in 2022 as the first of a trilogy. Book 2 (Battle of the Red-Cliffs) and Book 3 (The Conquest of No Return) are to be released concurrently in 2023.Robert draws his literary inspiration from his love of ancient history and enthusiasm as a top-ranked junior saber fencer. He hopes to follow in the footsteps of adventure writers such as Alexandre Dumas, as he brings more swashbuckling tales from ancient China to a global audience.
