In the year 2103, the world has returned to a medieval state, 618 years after the cataclysmic Great War that reset civilisation's clock. The New Tang Dynasty, known as the Xuān Dynasty, has risen from the ashes of despair, with China flourishing in an era reminiscent of its golden past. However, beneath the surface of prosperity lies a web of corruption, danger, and lawlessness.
In the heart of this fractured society is Mei Chen, a fierce half-Scottish, half-Chinese late-teen orphan. For three tumultuous years, she has carved her path as a bounty hunter warrior, fusing her unique heritage with unparalleled skills in martial arts and cunning tactics. Residing in the enigmatic Dragonfly Inn-a place teeming with whispers and shadows-Mei's world is inhabited by mercenaries, rogues, and deceitful warriors, all drawn to the inn's promise of anonymity and fortune.
With the capital city of Shenzhou just fifty miles away, Mei faces the relentless onslaught of rival armies, notorious bandits, and ruthless warriors who threaten to unravel the threads of peace. As she embarks on daring missions to capture dangerous criminals and restore order, Mei uncovers a deep-seated conspiracy that reaches into the heart of the Xuān Dynasty.
Armed with her intelligence, martial prowess, and a touch of humour, Mei discovers that the true battle lies not only against external foes but also within herself. Can she unite the fragmented factions of this new dynasty and ultimately bring peace to a world still haunted by the shadows of its past? Join Mei in a gripping mix of action, intrigue, and laughs as she navigates the treacherous world of bounty hunting in "Shadows of the New Tang."
