Faith in Divine Authority

In ancient Shu, the Yufu Clan alliance is about to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony. Luo Lanyi, a girl whose very existence has been unknown to the world since the day she was born, is about to become the great shaman-healer of this vast alliance’s royal city. A royal power struggle is brewing right before her eyes, as the life of Cong Zhen, ruler of the Yufu Clan, approaches its end. When a mask falls away at the appearance of an ancient sacred eagle, she reveals her true face to the world for the first time. She is the king’s daughter and the royal city’s great shaman-healer. She is even qualified to become the chief of the ancient Guanglun people, with the potential to lead all shamans and stand above both royal and divine authority. Clever yet inexperienced, she cannot escape her entanglement with Du Yu, whose mismatched eyes are just like those of Cancong, the creator king. This is true even as she is pursued by Yake, leader of the Baiguan Clan alliance, and Han Kan, a man of mysterious origins who has earned the deep trust of her father, Cong Zhen. Caught in a struggle for power, Luo Lanyi cannot break free. Though she is the king’s daughter, she remains utterly alone. She cannot understand why her mother betrayed the promise she made to the god Aka. Then, just as she is repeatedly ambushed and nearly loses her life, the flowers bloom across the northern wilderness. Du Yu has become the new king of the Yufu Clan alliance. As the long-simmering hatred between the alliance and the restless north erupts, Luo Lanyi travels north alone. There she finds her mother and stands amid that sea of flowers. She bears only one responsibility: to become the chief of all shamans, rallying their full strength through the ancient Guanglun people’s most powerful spiritual faith to fight the foreign enemy bent on destroying this land, even if doing so costs her life.
