She was born a princess. Now she weaves cloth under a false name. When the emperor is betrayed and murdered by his own brother on the battlefield, his eldest daughter, Celeste is forced into hiding with her mother and siblings in the misty river towns of the south. For years, they live as the ordinary Lin family - until the night the ancestral Azure Blade reappears, and their secret is shattered. Hunted by the usurper's shadow guards and torn between duty and survival, Celeste must choose: continue running to protect her family, or take up the sword and fight for the throne that was stolen from them. Blood calls to blood. A fallen dynasty will either rise again... or be erased forever.
