An ambitious attempt to create an Eastern A Song of Ice and Fire, a fantasy epic rooted in Eastern soil. Three lands divided, the embers of ages past still smoldering: the barbarian heir of the northern grasslands, the iron-willed empress of the southern palace, and the mixed-blood prince exiled from the Central Land. Their three fates intertwine as the stars turn in their courses. The golden-red wings of the divine bird Yanxuan cleave the Ying Sea, divine fire at Duanshuang Pass holds back the undead of the Everfrost Wastes, and the struggle between the Starpath Guardians and the Dark Star faithful unfolds in the shadows.
There is no absolute good or evil here, only people struggling to survive in troubled times. No salvation descends from the heavens; the only path to survival is paved with blood and fire. The conflicts among the nine tribes of Hanzhou, the political intrigues of the five provinces of the Southern Land, and the bonds among the three peoples of the Central Land unfold layer by layer throughout the ages of the Great Wilderness.
