At 4:17 in the morning, Lin Wantang was woken up by a phone call. "The phoenix is alive," her boss said.
Three years ago, her mentor "committed suicide" in Tel Aviv, leaving only two words before his death: "Remember 327." She always thought that was an academic password. It was only now that she discovered that it was a number - the last node of a dark web that spans the world. Three hundred and twenty-seven coordinates, one thousand seven hundred people's secrets, and the core of power of seventeen countries, are connected by the same thread. Someone is using these secrets to control the world, and a devastating war is counting down.
In Istanbul, Lin Wantang met Michelle, a man whose life was also ruined by this network. He handed her the last key and said, "I died six years ago. You keep the truth alive." Then he drove off into pursuit and never came back.
Seventy-two hours later, Lin Wantang stood in an underground vault. She holds three hundred and twenty-seven coordinates in her hand, holding the lifeblood of the world. Publicly, the world would descend into chaos. Silence, war will devour everything.
She chose the third way - to live first. Live for all the dead and see for them whether the world will become a better place.
