In Zhongdu, capital of the Jurchen Jin, Guo Jing learns how his father died and discovers that family agreements have left him promised to more than one woman. His attachment to Huang Rong conflicts with filial duty, while Yang Kang’s discovery of his own Song ancestry threatens the princely identity and privileges granted to him by his Jurchen adoptive father.
As Guo Jing and Huang Rong travel south, the contest for the Nine Yin Manual draws them into feuds among the great martial masters. Revenge follows Guo Jing from his childhood on the steppe, and Qiu Chuji’s long-planned wager approaches its conclusion. The volume treats kinship and nationality as obligations that can be inherited, imposed or rejected within a landscape divided by the Jin–Song wars.
