Chronicles of the Flame Emperor

The Great Yan Dynasty has stood for fifty thousand years, but its national fortunes are on the brink of collapse. Reform leader Xiao Zhan was executed in a blood-soaked square. With his dying breath, he laughed: “I laugh at the sky with my blade held high!” The young Xiao Yan, burdened by a blood feud, fled to the northern frontier. One hundred thousand child soldiers were thrown onto the battlefield. At Blackwind Pass, Sunset Valley, Yanmen Pass, and elsewhere, only forty-nine survived the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. They swore a blood oath, and the Bloodfang Battalion was born! From overthrowing the corrupt Empress Dowager to putting an end to warlord rule; from repelling an invasion by an eighteen-nation coalition to fighting the iron hooves of the Fusang Empire to the death. His brothers fell one by one, the woman he loved died with a smile, and his strategist passed away from exhaustion and illness. Again and again, Xiao Yan broke through his limits in dire straits, shouldering the backbone of his people with the body of a Saint. The Long March, the Hundred Regiments Offensive, a transoceanic campaign of revenge: he will make every invader pay their blood debt! “The Great Yan has risen!” This is a stirring legend of faith, sacrifice, and revival. Witness an orphan grow into a great emperor and lead a shattered land back to its former glory!
