Description

So many stories begin the same way: with a prophecy, a chosen one, and the inevitable quest to slay a villain, save the kingdom, and fulfill a grand destiny. But this is not that kind of story. It begins with a prophecy: a child will rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, a cruel immortal god-king, and save the kingdom. That prophecy anoints a hero, Jian, raised since birth in luxury and splendor, and celebrated before he has won a single battle. But that’s when the story diverges—the prophecy is wrong. What follows is a tale more wondrous than any prophecy could foresee, with many unexpected twists: Taishi, an older woman who is the greatest grandmaster of magical martial arts in the kingdom but who thought her adventuring days were behind her; Sali, a strait-laced warrior who learns that the rules may no longer apply when the leader to whom she pledged her life is gone; and Qisami, a chaotic assassin who takes a little too much pleasure in the kill. And Jian himself, who must find a way to become what he no longer believes he can be—a true hero after all.
