Those Who Answer Have Names

Three hundred years, seven thousand two hundred names, twenty-four a year. When a name appears in the ashes, that person must ascend the altar and endure a celestial eclipse in the Son of Heaven's place. On the first day of spring in Shen Yan's third year on duty, three names appeared in the ashes: his master, a half-written "Shen," and his own. They couldn't be erased.
