    Summary

    "An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break."

    The Maomao that had read those fated words was just a child—naive and sharp-eyed but so full of heart. The Maomao that read it had clumsy hands and chipped teeth, yard-tanned skin and endless questions. She hadn't the faintest clue of destiny's cruel design, and it would be cruel. There would be hate and horror and humorless irony in every turn, but that young Maomao grinned and relaxed down into the sunbaked grass with a crude legends children's book beside her. If her destiny was already set, it didn't matter what she did.

    Summary

    Wei Ying hiccupped a bubble of blood out of his mouth, and he shifted on the sword, sending a swift terror through Lan Wangji. He pinned Wei Ying mercilessly close, tightly enough he could support Wei Ying’s entire weight even if his feet left the steel.

    Wei Ying had closed his eyes on the cliff at Nightless City and let himself fall back. Lan Wangji’s heart had leapt out through the wall of his chest. Lan Wangji had stopped him, pulled him forward and thrown down a teleportation talisman and swept him away. He would not, could not let him slip through his hands now.

    Summary

    Innocence isn't the only thing to die in war. Propriety is the last thing on the minds of the teenaged generals, the orphan clan leaders of the Sunshot campaign.

    Jin Guangshan is the only leader who ascended as an adult, who didn't have his parents murdered by the Wen, who didn't come of age during a war. The last adult standing, the only one with experience and age. He assumes this will put him in the most advantageous position, once the war ends. That the infant leaders of the other clans will gladly fall into step within his shadow.

    He is wrong.
