Lone Lamp Among a Thousand Peaks: Jiang Wuya

A Thousand Peaks, a Solitary Lamp: Jiang Wuya creates a wuxia world in the Yin Dynasty, where feudal lords vie for power and the martial world colludes with foreign tribes. Jiang Wuya, the last sect leader of Tidewatch Pavilion, carries the burden of revenge for his destroyed sect as he roams the martial world with a solitary glass lamp that contains his own pain nerves. His beloved, Yun Xiu, is a Miao healer versed in gu magic, yet she bears the tragic fate of being a sacrifice to the bloodline of the Soldier Demon. A pair of green jade earrings bind the two together. Helian Zhuo, the Blood Moon Alliance's Right Protector, is Jiang Wuya's half-brother, sharing the same mother. He wears a bronze Nuo mask and stops at nothing to achieve his aims. Ye Xianshuang was originally an assassin of Star-Seizing Tower, formed from Jiang Wuya's sword energy, with a cinnabar life-lamp as the symbol of her fate. Lu Chenxing, the orphaned survivor of the previous dynasty, holds the Blood Pact Map of Mountains and Rivers and guards the map of the Soul-Locking Cavern. The story follows Jiang Wuya as he investigates the Blood Moon Alliance's conspiracy behind the green jade earrings. He braves fantastical and perilous settings such as the Thousand Peaks by the Frozen River and the Blood Moon Altar. Along the way, he must fight the Blood Moon Alliance's corpse-puppet curses and face the danger of having his memories devoured by the glass lamp. He must also confront the cruel past of sealing away his own memories to protect the one he loves. As he pursues the truth, he grows stronger, determined to solve the mystery of his sect's destruction, stop the shocking blood sacrifice meant to resurrect the ancient Soldier Demon in the Soul-Locking Cavern, and restore peace to the martial world.
