With the Westerners and their allies pressing in on all sides, the empire of Great Liang enters its darkest hour. Under these desperate conditions, Gu Yun leads the beleaguered Black Iron Battalion to hold the borders. Meanwhile, Chang Geng makes his move in the imperial court, sweeping corrupt officials aside in an effort to stabilize the nation before it’s too late.
As the two struggle to hold the tattered pieces of the empire together, Gu Yun uncovers a shocking truth about the curse slowly tightening its grip on Chang Geng’s mind. But are the deepest secrets of Cheng Geng’s past enough to move even the iron heart of the nation’s most fearsome general?
The danmei/Boys’ Love novels from China that inspired the popular
live-action drama streaming in English! This modern fantasy about
gods, ghosts, and supernatural investigations from blockbuster
author Priest (Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang, Word of Honor) is now
officially in English for the first time! Zhao Yunlan is Chief of
the Special Investigations Department: a secret group of uniquely
skilled individuals who investigate strange happenings in
modern-day Dragon City. Although laid-back and cheeky to those who
don't know him, this tenacious and cunning man fits well into his
role of the Guardian. While investigating a mysterious death at a
local university, Zhao Yunlan meets Shen Wei, a calm and cold
professor who proves as intriguing as the case itself. Something
about this reserved man feels strangely familiar. Zhao Yunlan can't
help but notice the intensity of the professor's gaze, and wonders
why their lives begin to intertwine—as if by fate. This trilogy
of supernatural novels from China built around the desire between
two men (danmei) has been translated into multiple languages and
inspired the blockbuster live-action series of the same name,
penned by hit-maker author Priest (whose works include Stars of
Chaos: Sha Po Lang and Faraway Wanderers/Word of Honor). The Seven
Seas English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new
covers and interior illustrations.
