Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The door was unlocked. In the world Wei Changfeng knows, that alone is a warning.When the swordsman known across the jianghu as Jian Ying Gu Du, the Sword Alone at the Edge of the World, finds his oldest friend murdered and an entire household silenced with him, he inherits two things: a ten year old girl with nowhere else to go, and a scroll that names names no one in the capital wants spoken aloud.What follows is not a story of grand duels, though the blade still finds its mark when it must. It is a slow, dangerous walk through old teahouses and older debts, through spies, officials, and one masked swordsman with four years of secrets to answer for, all leading toward a king's court where the truth has a price and Changfeng is the only one still willing to pay it.Written in the spirit of classical wuxia fiction, this is a story about restraint as much as it is about the sword: about a man who could end a fight in half a breath, and chooses instead to carry a burden no one else will.A quiet, character driven wuxia mystery for readers who love their heroes patient, their villains plausible, and their sense of honor earned one small, costly choice at a time.
