The Exiled Prince Recruits a Million Deathsworn Overnight

Exiled to the border army, the Seventh Prince Xiao Jin gathers a million death-sworn followers in a freezing night. Using the Broken Arm Battalion as his spear and the Shadow Banner as his shield, his iron cavalry tramples the glazed tiles of the imperial city. The female strategist Shen Zhao, burdened by a blood feud, lays plans for him across the realm. Xie Wuyuan, daughter of the chancellor, wavers between poison and love, while the compass of the wandering Daoist Chu Jiuling slowly turns toward a doomed national destiny buried for three hundred years. This time, it is no rebellion. It is a reckoning.
