The Shadow Master of a Great Nation

Those who command ghosts through force are doomed to fail; those who guide souls with compassion shine on forever.

This is an intellectual battle between the art of Chinese shadow puppetry and the dark sorcery of Japanese Onmyodo. In the autumn of 1937, Huaxian fell, and Colonel Kuroda demanded the secret arts of shadow puppetry. An old master gouged out his heart and died for his art, forcing his soul into a Guan Yu shadow puppet. A righteous blue gleam burst from its eyes.

Shen Mohen, heir to a blood-soaked vendetta, did not flee blindly. Instead, he donned the most unremarkable, cowardly secret identity and walked straight into the enemy's secret police headquarters.
