In the dawn of the tumultuous 20th century, as the Qing Dynasty crumbles and the world hurtles towards war, the brilliant and ruthless patriarch He Tianming conceives an audacious plan for his family's survival. He disperses his six children like carefully chosen seeds across the globe, tasking them with building a secret, borderless empireof capital and influence known as the 'Silent Stream'.

From the treacherous underworld of Shanghai to the high-stakes boardrooms of Wall Street, from the heart of the Japanese military-industrial complex to the strategic chokepoint of Singapore, each sibling becomes a master of their own silent war. But their ruthless pragmatism is challenged by an older, more honourable power: the 'Dragon's Vein', the ancient, sacred tradition of China, embodied by the noble Jiang family.

This clash of philosophies will create aprofound, heartbreaking schism that threatens to tear the He family's own souls apart. Set against the epic backdrop of the fall of empires, the Second World War, and the rise of new global powers, The House of He is a magnificent, multi-generational saga of power, sacrifice, and the unseen currents of history. It is a profound and unforgettable exploration of the immense, tragic price of building a fortress to withstand the chaos of the modern world, and a timeless story of a family that wins the world only to lose its home.

Six siblings. One hidden empire. A family bound by power, divided by honour.
