Papa Catfish, a poor fisherman, must risk his life to save his daughter from the clutches of a bloodthirsty warlord. But what can he do, a broken old man, against an army of criminals out on a vicious rampage?

“He saw skeletons disassembled, blanched by rain, broken apart by stalks. And then whole, grown through, and finally bodies with skin and flesh, blossoming with green shoots like terrible flower beds. The reek was suffocating. It was like wading through hell itself. He thought he was going to die of terror when he noticed that the heads all pointed in one direction. Towards the setting sun. He kept going until at last, ahead of him, he saw Lord Lin’s castle lit by a host of blood-red lanterns, rising like a dark apparition in the midst of the enchanted wood.”

A family torn by grief, a corrupt official driven by envy and lust, a ruthless nobleman adept at swordplay, a hermit lost in the mountains. When their worlds collide, an epic battle ensues. Good versus evil, who will win in the end?

A twisted tale of revenge and murder set in ancient China. A heart-pounding adventure that will have you at the edge of your seat from start to finish!
