Shadows of the Northern Frontier

Synopsis of Northern Frontier: Sniper's Shadow

He was framed as a traitor, only to discover that the blood in his veins carried a thousand-year-old duty to protect.

Special forces soldier Chen Bei was betrayed by his comrades. While on the run, he unexpectedly uncovered the mystery of his father's disappearance twenty years earlier. Deep in the rock art of Yinshan lay a code system forged in blood by the Tang Dynasty's Wolf Sentinel Guards. Mongolian long songs could relay military intelligence, Tibetan prayer wheels could decipher the secrets of heaven, and an ancient totem concealed the inherited bloodline of the "Messenger's Heart."

When the Shadow Organization hunted the grasslands with swarms of AI drones and used deepfakes to discredit the Watchmen, Chen Bei transformed from a deserter into a messenger in the midst of desperation. He lost his mentor Yan Feng, the old Eji, and countless comrades who had fought by his side. Yet beneath the Pamir glaciers, he found his father's remains, and in a tower at the Gates of Hell, he absorbed the memories of generations of messengers.

From Yinshan to Samarkand, from the grasslands to the Pamirs, three generations of Watchmen gave their lives to kindle the undying flame of the totem. When the eternal night descended, a golden Wolf Sentinel stepped out of the rock art. The truth was that true protection had never been one person's fight, but a legacy of spirit forged in blood and fire, passed down from generation to generation.

This book is dedicated to all those who protect others quietly.
