About This Book

A sequence of martial episodes alternates ruses, rescues, and shifting loyalties as a detained elder is led to a mountain stronghold where kin are reunited and leadership is reorganized. A young hero slays a bandit captain to free a kidnapped woman, then escorts her to her family in Yangzhou and secures their hospitality. At a nearby Taoist retreat a retired master recognizes the hero, forges sworn brotherhood among several fighters, and urges caution after ominous signs. The arrival of an escorted, wrongly accused man and the influence of a powerful local clan raise tensions and foreshadow imminent confrontation.
