Gods should never meddle in the affairs of mortals, but Xie Lian

is not one to follow the rules when lives are at risk. He spits in the

face of heaven and its laws and descends in a fury to save his country

from drought and civil war. Yet this golden child gets a harsh dose of

reality when he discovers just how little one individual—even a god—can

do to save a crumbling nation. As the people reject and betray him, one

young soldier stands by Xie Lian—a boy with a face wrapped in bandages

and a fierce loyalty in his heart. In this chaotic past, can an

unshakable bond grow from the ashes of unimaginable destruction?
