Snow Whirls Across Northern Yan

On a night of torrential rain,

thirty-seven heads hung from the towers of Dragon City.

The iron-fisted imperial rule of Northern Yan collapsed in an instant.

But Feng Zhen, the young man clutching his ancestral battle axe, had no idea:

His fiancée was Northern Wei’s deadliest hidden blade.

His junior sister was the last heir to the Wu clan’s blood sacrifice.

And the “One-Finger Sword” quietly awakening at his fingertips

was the deadly curse planted a century ago by a would-be conqueror.

This is not the martial world you know. Here:

Emperors forge their power from the flesh and blood of warriors.

People of the martial world use court intrigues to fight for survival.

Childhood sweethearts become enemies overnight; those who save your life stab you in the back.

Everyone lives behind three masks.

The iron-blooded force of a finger that can shatter mountains and rivers.

A storm of sorcery when witch blood boils.

A deadly game of mechanisms and poison in the night.

The moment Feng Zhen steps into Eagle’s Sorrow Ravine,

thirty-seven corpses suddenly open their eyes and sneer.

And he discovers that

the person he most needs to kill is himself.
