In the ten years since Tianbao was born, the sky of Talos has been filled with blood and sand. Du Huan, a prisoner of war from the Tang army, was armed with the secret technique of improving papermaking. Dragging heavy shackles, he stepped into the new capital of Baghdad, a city where ambition and knowledge were forged. The cold iron chain could not erase his obsession to return home as a warning, but it dragged him into a secret war far beyond imagination.

A historical fantasy novel with a grand conception and far-reaching intentions. Its core idea of "paper is a blade" is unique and profound, successfully blending real history and fantasy settings, and exploring grand themes such as knowledge, civilization, and faith. The ending has a long lasting aftertaste, laying a wonderful foreshadowing for the sequel. Although there are a few details and rhythm that can be slightly optimized, the overall degree of completion is high.
