Mystery Solving + Adventure + Suspense + Supernatural
The windswept sands of the Northern Frontier bury a thousand-year-old obsession, while the secret treasures of the Wusun sleep beneath Kanas Lake.
A gold-embossed ledger reveals the thousand-year mission of the Nine Realms' guardians; a Wusun jade pendant sets in motion a journey to collect fragments that spans life and death.
Lin Yan, a young woman carrying the bloodline of the guardians, runs a supernatural inn that accepts only those bound by obsessions, while carrying the mystery of her father's "defection." She joins forces with Chen Zhuo, a boy with a film camera that can capture the lingering shadows of obsessions; Batu, a camel caravan guide weighed down by twenty years of guilt; and Shen Man, an artist whose obsession has taken physical form. Following the blue glow of water-patterned stones, they enter the maze of yardangs in Devil City and pursue the moonlight of Hoh Xil.
Rusty camel bells ring out the sandstorms of twenty years ago, while a phantom caravan pauses to the sound of Qinqiang opera. Faceless men prowl in human skins, and the Obsession-Eaters stir up chaos. The missing elder sister Shen Qing, the father's long-buried past, the alliance's shocking conspiracy... Every clue points to the fragments of Wusun crystal scattered across the Northern Frontier.
When obsessions become weapons and sandstorms bury the truth, can this band of guardians grasp the last glimmer of light amid the fog where humans and ghosts intertwine, and restore peace to the Nine Realms?
Camel bells ring, sandstorms rise. Hold fast to one obsession, guard one city.
