Once the Emperor’s most feared investigator, Zhao now scrapes by as a beggar on the streets of Su. But when a high ranking minister mysteriously vanishes, fate brings into his path an unlikely ally: Feng—a wandering martial artist full of secrets of his own. As bodies surface and secrets are revealed, Zhao and Feng find themselves caught in a web of corruption, forgotten crimes, and whispers of something not entirely human. What begins as a search for justice turns into a descent into political betrayal, spectral visitations, and the thin, fraying line between duty and obsession. In a world where appearances deceive and ghosts do not rest, Zhao must confront not only the killer—but the phantoms buried in his own memory.
