An emperor of the ages dies, and undercurrents roil through the court of the Qin Empire.
Fusu ascends the throne in a time of crisis. Within the court, powerful ministers scheme against one another; beyond the borders, Modu of the Xiongnu watches hungrily with an army of two hundred thousand. The Qin Empire teeters on the brink.
Entrusted by the late emperor to protect his son, Chen Yi heads for the Great Wall on the northern frontier as Fusu’s imperial tutor.
He improves battle tactics and forges divine weapons. Five hundred cavalrymen rout thousands of elite Xiongnu troops, winning a battle that shakes the lands beyond the frontier.
As he repels foreign invaders, he also hunts down traitors lurking within the court, unraveling one deadly plot after another.
He fights with iron resolve to defend the borderlands and plans with care to stabilize the court, embarking on a long journey to protect the Qin Empire’s vast domain!
