In an ancient and huge empire, the former glory is quietly passing away, and the decadent regime is facing dual internal and external pressures. Although the emperor of the empire, Julian Drake, sat on the throne, he was unable to curb the expansion of the power of the seven electors. Each elector is good at military arts, magic, machinery and warfare, but their greed and intrigue gradually tear this once unified country apart.
Qian'an, an ordinary general beside the emperor, is caught in the vortex of this power struggle. He was once a brave general, but in the undercurrent of imperial politics, he was just a forgotten pawn. As the empire declined and split, Qian'an found himself not only facing threats from foreign enemies, but also had to find his own foothold in complex palace intrigues and the calculations of the electors.
In this disintegrating empire, how will Qian'an find his place in the shadows? How will he weigh loyalty and betrayal, fate and choice in the escalating battle?
"The Shadow on the Throne" is an epic sword and sorcery novel that shows the ups and downs of an empire and the growth of a general. In the intertwining of power, conspiracy, betrayal and war, how will Qian'an's fate be written?
