Desensitised and detached from the worldly goods that fall before her, Mai finds herself in a position of great fortune and opportunity being raised as the only child in the respected Zhang family. Steeped in riches, albeit riches stained with blood, Mai finds it all too much to sacrifice her morality for the life of luxury. The sudden disappearance of her beloved grandfather, the constant presence of the Win Chun family and the ever growing threat of the Shadow Government conjures a story of eternal panic, mistrust and revenge as Mai begins to piece together her family's true history. The story takes place in 1970's China; the backdrop is scenic and vivid; bustling marketplaces and sprawling metropolises. The contrast of this beautiful imagery is the dirt ridden underworld of crime bosses, hired thugs and crooked politicians. Follow Mai Zhang as she uses her affluent upbringing against her own family and traverses through the cold blooded grip the Shadow Government has on her way of life.
