The Old Oaths of Kings

The bells in the royal capital announced the death of the king, and also resurfaced an old military debt that had been settled for a long time. Auditor Sevian Weir trusted only verifiable facts: signature, sealing wax, date and name of the person responsible. However, the mysterious death of his supervisor, the disappearance of files in the sealed area, a delivery certificate with the same content but different format, and death records that cannot accommodate each other gradually pushed him into the unexplained cracks in the system. In order to prove that he had not tampered with the records, he followed legal procedures step by step, but found that every verification made the escape route narrower. When the impounded caravan, the mysterious sender and the northern garrison forgotten by the kingdom came into his sight one after another, Severian had to leave the familiar accounting room and make a choice between old oaths, war legacies and real livelihood. "The Old Oath of Kings" is a Chinese low-demon epic western fantasy novel: there are no miracles that come easily, there are only traces left by records, and the consequences that someone must bear.
