The Star Track Burns the Frost

Amid the fierce storms of fate, a swordsmith's apprentice beneath Mount Jiuyi flees for his life, clutching a bloodstained bronze box. Sealed inside the box, which burns so fiercely it feels as though it might split his breastbone, is a fragment of the Book of Heavenly Secrets, the cause of his family's destruction and an object coveted by countless powerful men. More terrifying still is the mysterious cold poison lying dormant in his body. It devours life at a touch, like a parasite burrowed into his bones, granting him power while bringing an endless curse.
