In The Shadow Of Fury

In a time when dynasties fall and the blade speaks louder than reason, one warlord’s fury shakes the heavens—and one woman’s ink dares to meet it.

Lu Bu, the most feared warrior of the Three Kingdoms, is a man whispered of in terror and legend. A ruthless general, a tempest of war, and a creature of bloodied steel. But when he conquers Xiapi, he encounters something unexpected in a quiet shrine untouched by his carnage—a lone woman with a brush and scrolls of delicate hanzi.

Xianyu Yan is no soldier. Short, curvy, with black hair like ink and a sharp tongue, she is calm where he is chaos. She has never held a sword—only calligraphy ink—but her presence unsettles Lu Bu in a way no battlefield ever has. She is not his enemy. Nor is she prey. And yet, she sees the man behind the monster… and the monster behind the man.

Bound by fate, their worlds begin to tangle. She fears him. He can’t stop returning to her. And what begins as wary silence slowly becomes something neither of them expected—a fragile, dangerous connection between fury and stillness.

A slow-burn historical romance rooted in realism, In the Shadow of Fury is a haunting reimagining of ancient China’s most infamous general—and the woman history forgot.
