After my grandmother was found dead in a ravine behind the mountain, three sinister things happened on the third night of her wake.
Incense ash crept into the cracks of her coffin. A bronze compass snapped in two on the spot. Then, from inside the black-lacquered coffin, came the sound of fingernails scraping against the boards.
My name is Su Yan. I was born with a pure Yin constitution, and I studied feng shui under my grandmother for ten years.
More than anything, she feared the art of finding dragon veins and burial sites. Even as she lay dying, she clutched half of the bloodstained Hidden Dragon Scripture so tightly that no one could pry it from her hands.
Beneath Qingxi sleeps a hidden dragon vein a thousand years old. Someone plans to rupture it and drain its power, using the lives of everyone in town to fuel an evil ritual.
Starting with the first Yin formation I break, I battle the sinister arts of the Yin Artisans, uncover the truth behind my grandmother’s death, and stumble upon the secret the Su family has guarded for five generations.
Sighs from inside the coffin. A dragon’s roar from the mountain behind us. Half of a dragon jade pendant burning hot against my skin.
The day the dragon wakes, a blood calamity will descend.
I must either protect the dragon vein and survive, or be buried with the Su family in the mountains of Qingxi.
