Three Realms: The Rise of a Great Power

The bloody chronicle of the Three Domains began with nations carving up the land and ends in the perilous standoff of three rival powers. The realm boils like a cauldron, ambition is its fuel, and the people are its grain.

This is an age when heroes and ruthless schemers are hard to tell apart. Li Tongzhao, ruler of Shun, has forged the empire's foundations with an iron hand and far-reaching plans. His gaze has already crossed mountains and rivers to the ultimate throne of a unified realm. But the tides of history do not wash over just one man. In the shadows of the borderlands, the dark corners of the palace, and the blood-red dust of the battlefield, countless souls chosen by their age are being driven to the edge of a fateful choice.

This is the final contest for power, and a profound test of human nature. It all began with a great snow that would decide the fate of the Three Domains, and a secret that should have been lost, caught amid the flames of a fallen kingdom...
