『The moon of Qin shines on the passes of Han, on a ten-thousand-mile march from which men have yet to return』
The bright moon of Qin, floating and sinking in troubled times. The world's number one swordsman, Ge Nie, takes Tianming, the son of an old friend, and flees to the ends of the earth, pursued endlessly by the Empire's iron cavalry and the assassins of Quicksand. The young Tianming is exceptionally gifted, yet finds himself helpless in the vortex of destiny. The Mohists, Confucians, Taoists, Yin-Yang School... the grievances and disputes of the Hundred Schools of Thought gradually unfold. An epic tale of chivalry, protection, and the rise and fall of nations is quietly written upon the ruins of the Six States.
"Slaughter is never a reason to become stronger. If a person proves himself by defeating others, he has already lost."
