Snow Melody's Escort: The Phoenix-Call Zither's Lament

Cheng Xueyin, the only female heir to the Feiying Escort Agency, is skilled in every martial art, yet trapped by the marriage her father arranged. The job of escorting the ancient guqin “Phoenix Cry” should have been routine, until she discovers that her client, Shen Wuyan, is a wanted fugitive from the imperial court and a surviving descendant of the previous dynasty. The instrument hides a secret powerful enough to topple the court, and Shen Wuyan’s hands, though made to play the qin, are stained with the blood of political intrigue. From Jiangnan to the northern frontier, every mile of the seven-hundred-mile escort route teems with danger. Should she fulfill her duty as an escort, or follow her heart?
