Description

Nash Emerald is the runaway Young Master and heir to the prestigious Emerald family. Unsatisfied with his father's insistence that he spend much of his time tending to the clan's political alliances rather than in cultivation. The Young Master must attempt to navigate both cultivation and being pursued by several different factions, including elements of the criminal underworld, agents of the Emerald clan, and an outside factor that may destabilize the delicate balance of Wolf Country.

What to expect:

An urban fantasy world with cultivation that actually influenced the culture of that world, developing it into something that doesn't precisely map onto any single real-world culture.

A grounded protagonist without cheats, his every advantage making sense within the power-system of the story and making sense for his upbringing.

Deadly fights where realm of cultivation is a deciding factor but not the be-all end-all, with a cast of various characters that make full use of their varied powers.

What not to expect:

Romance.

Rapid, heaven-defying advances in the protagonist's cultivation.
