The Secret Realm of Ulan Nor

Three thousand years ago, on the banks of the Nen River, a meteor fell into the Wulannuoer marsh, sending golden light shooting into the sky. Legend says the golden bead is the "Eye of Divine Communion." In the hands of the kind, it reveals the gods; in the hands of the greedy, it leads them into the abyss. When eighteen-year-old Qiqige fires pottery and a "heavenly eye" pattern appears, her father, the old shaman, sees it as an ill omen. On the night the meteor falls, the golden bead drops into her palm of its own accord. The fish-scale birthmark on the chest of Suhe, a silent hunter, begins to glow. Deep beneath the river, a voice is calling his name. Bate'er, chief of the Northern Mountain tribe, covets the divine power and leads his troops to their borders. The wandering shaman Wuen suddenly appears, revealing the truth behind a bloody case from eighteen years ago. Meanwhile, Sarilang, a wolf girl imprisoned in enemy territory, will break out on the night of the full moon and summon a pack of wolves. When the two golden beads meet and the waters part, the path for guiding souls opens. Qiqige and Suhe discover the secret of the River God's bloodline hidden behind the beads, along with a prophecy spanning four generations: The River God's son will raise towering waves, the soul-guiding shaman will show the way home, and the spirit-medium divine envoy will be reborn among the wolves. The children of destiny are entangled here. The gates of Wulannuoer open for you.
