War drums thunder and iron cavalry charges, trampling the Xiongnu. Heads may fall and blood may flow; one battle can leave a field of bones. After Huo Qubing, a great general of his generation, comes the little-known Ouyang Jicheng, a passionate young man. Alongside Lan Xiao, the peerless ancestor bird of the First Emperor, and the beautiful Shen Yiyi, he achieves glorious feats in the art of forging weapons. He cuts through every obstacle, honors his father’s aspirations, slays the barbarians, quells unrest, and defends his country. Amid love and hatred, he carves out an unheralded path into the annals of history.
