In the late Warring States period, the Seven States are locked in conflict and the realm has fallen into chaos!
He is the son of a hostage, bullied in the city of Handan; a young ruler, hemmed in by powerful ministers in the Qin palace; and the eternal emperor who will sever the Six States' centuries-old fortunes with a single sword, end the age of chaos, and unify the realm!
With enemies all around and danger on every side, how will he claw his way out of the piles of the dead and gradually seize power in his own hands?
When the Six States form an alliance and their armies invade, how will he fight six powers at once and trample the old world beneath his iron hooves?
When immortality potions deceive and sorcerers wield political power, how will he break the delusion of eternal life and build a foundation that will endure for generations?
From Handan to Xianyang, from hostage to emperor...
He ascended the throne at thirteen, took personal control at twenty-two, and unified the realm at thirty-nine.
His life was an epic of iron and blood, a feast of schemes and strategy, and a lonely journey as a ruler standing alone against the world!
