Jiang is a hunter in a quiet village far from the world of sects, spirits, and soaring swords. When bandits raze his home, Jiang begins a new hunt—one for his missing family, and the ones who stole them away.

His search will take him into the heart of the Azure Sky Sect and beyond, where power is currency and ambition leaves corpses in its wake. No one expects anything of the backwater teen faking his age to meet the minimum for admission.

Among immortals, he is a peasant. A child. A nobody. Until his prodigious natural talent becomes as difficult to ignore as his sharp tongue.
