Iron Hooves Trample the Mystic Pass

In the Great Qian dynasty, war flares up once more along the northern frontier, and the mighty passes teeter on the brink of disaster. The court is short on seasoned generals, while factions scheme against one another. In this moment of crisis, the young Marshal Lin Suiying, dismissed and kept in obscurity after a “crushing defeat,” is reinstated and granted supreme command of the army. But he is met not with unity, but with the contempt of veteran generals who command their own forces, the suspicion of his colleagues, and the distant interference of the capital. Facing threats within and without, Lin Suiying wields strategy as a blade and turns the hearts of men into a game board. Step by step, he dismantles seemingly impregnable enemy lines and the tangled web of corruption in the army. Against all odds, he carves out a bloody path to immortal glory, for the Great Qian and for himself.
