Seven Nights of Eternal Light

September, the fourteenth year of the Zhengtong era, Beijing. With a thunderous crash at Tumu Fortress, peace in the Great Ming came to an end. Amid the pounding of hooves, Esen cracked his whip and pointed straight at Beijing. Jinyiwei officer Liang Gui barely escaped the battlefield alive, only to face a brutal purge. Now, key officials are dying, Wala spies are lurking, and a powerful enemy is at the gates. Amid the turmoil, the emperor must appoint the worthy and capable, and has no choice but to bring Liang back into service in the hope of saving the Great Ming. Seven days, one corpse, one condemned prisoner, and crisis upon crisis. It is a mission that seems all but impossible, but with even the slightest chance of survival at stake, they have no other choice.
