Winds Rise Over Taicheng

In the second year of the Taiqing era, Shen Yi wakes in a death-row cell. In the darkness, someone shares half a dry biscuit with him. That person later dies before his eyes. Overnight, he goes from palace guard to suspect in a treason case. The person who saves him is sending him to his death, while the person who framed him kneels and says, “I owe you this life.” He follows the letter that framed him up the chain, only to discover that the truth lies caught between the court and the city outskirts: rebel forces are closing in, a prince is making a move, and the true enemy may never have been outside the city. Thirty-seven tokens, thirty-seven death warriors. All he wants is to find an answer before he dies.
