Brothers Forged in the Flames of War

Chen Shisuo is a lone wolf raised by the mountains. In his hands, a family heirloom Hanyang rifle can take down a mountain hawk from 800 meters away. The cruelty of fate drives him to join the Nationalist army to avenge his family, but his inability to handle people leaves him abandoned on the battlefield. During a smoke-filled ambush, his icy rifle unexpectedly saves Zhou Dayong, a prisoner being escorted by Japanese puppet troops: an underground Communist squad leader carrying a top-secret mission, with a fire burning in his eyes.

>Opposed in identity and clashing in their beliefs, these two very different souls are forced to travel together across a suffering land trampled beneath the Japanese invaders’ boots. Zhou Dayong sees Shisuo’s astonishing marksmanship, enough to turn the tide of battle, and also the undimmed compassion beneath his hard exterior. He kindles a spark in Shisuo’s heart and guides him to understand what he is fighting for. From an unseasoned hunter seeking revenge to a soldier who pulls the trigger for his country and people, Shisuo is forged anew in blood and fire. And his silent rifle becomes, in the darkest hour, the deadliest blade aimed at the enemy’s heart.
