It begins with hatred and ends in defiance.
Three boys from Hekun Island, Yan Feng, who bears the burden of destiny; Le Qing, born for magic; and Wu Yao, who refuses to believe in fate, are drawn into a game of chess spanning gods and mortals.
The black-robed mage Weite lays out the board. The fallen god Katasisis awaits his return. The sealed Elf King Lin Yang awakens within a sword.
Five fragments of divine essence link betrayal and reunion, sacrifice and redemption.
When Le Qing goes from traitor to comrade, when Wu Yao's soul is scattered, when Lin Yang gives his life for justice, when Yan Feng declares war on the gods...
What they ultimately win is a sanctuary of their own.
“The gods are not invincible.”
“But what truly cannot be defeated is a person's choice.”
