“Rain falls late on the empty hills. But who will know, I wonder? Thirty years riding hard, and where will the strings sound when I return?”
The first volume explores the male lead's rise from humiliation to prominence through military affairs, court intrigue, friendship, love, betrayal, and human nature. He goes from being shunned and belittled to becoming a figure of great importance to his country, yet he spends his life unable to remain with the one he loves.
