This first volume introduces us to Shao Jun, the last surviving member of the Assassins, who finds herself in a world rife with danger and betrayal.

After the brutal political purge orchestrated by the new Emperor results in the annihilation of her comrades, Shao Jun is thrust into a life of peril. Forced to flee to Europe in search of safety and clarity, her journey takes a fierce turn upon her return to her homeland. Driven by an unyielding desire for vengeance, she is resolute in confronting those responsible for the tragedy that has befallen her.
This gripping narrative explores profound themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the quest for justice amidst chaos. The writing style is rich and immersive, drawing readers into a beautifully illustrated world where every panel pulsates with tension and emotion.
