The Great Dragon Dynasty has endured for three thousand years, ruling the Central Lands, holding back the northern barbarians, and keeping the west within the borders of the Tai Forest. Now its people live in peace and prosperity, and the nation stands at the height of its power.
One day, a stone stele was erected in Chengtian Square outside Kunjidian. It bore these words: “He who releases a tiger into the mountains will be devoured by it.”
Unfortunately, no one would ever see it. No one could even understand just how miserable the young emperor, drinking beneath the stele, felt.
Because when the sun rose tomorrow, this country would cease to exist.
