When several students from a prestigious private school flee campus overnight, the Yancheng Municipal Public Security Bureau launches a search—only to find one of the runaways murdered. As Sergeant Luo Wenzhou and his team investigate, they uncover a cruel ritual carried out by the students’ own peers, and powerful parents who would rather the case be forgotten.
But the ritual is only the beginning. The boy’s death is soon linked to a series of highway murders from more than a decade earlier. Following that trail, it becomes clear that all the bureau’s most recent cases contain a common thread…a thread tied to Fei Du.
Priest is a bestselling and award-winning Chinese author known for a large body of work, including several popular danmei series. Priest's works have been translated into many languages and adapted into animated shows, audio dramas, comics, and live-action dramas, and include hits Guardian: Zhen Hun, Bandits/Legend of Fei, Faraway Wanderers/Word of Honor, Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang, and Silent Reading: Mo Du.
