"The decade-long sleep of Kangju is over." A young man, Kushan, of the Kang imperial dynasty, after murdering his sworn uncle, becomes the sole ruler of a prosperous Scythian state lying on the edge of the Great Steppe. The state of Kangju has everything but independence from the Wusun. Unable to come to an agreement with the Wusun, Kangju will have to fight for freedom to the bitter end. Kangju cannot defeat its enemy single-handedly. Kushan will have to use all his wit to garner support from other nomadic tribes.
