Peerless (Novel) Vol. 2

A HAUNTING IN THE DESERT

A treacherous journey. A city divided. A mystery buried beneath the sands.

Rival investigators Cui Buqu and Feng Xiao set out on a diplomatic mission to the western regions, aiming to forge an alliance strong enough to stand against the rising threat of the Eastern Khaganate. But when their travels lead them to the oasis city of Qiemo, they find themselves entangled in something far more sinister than politics.

An inn haunted by restless spirits. A magistrate barely clinging to order. Two rival warlords battling for control of the city. Qiemo is on the brink of collapse, yet Cui Buqu sees an opportunity amidst the chaos—one that could bring the city back under Sui rule. His plan is audacious, reckless even, but as always, Feng Xiao finds himself unable to look away from the cunning, sickly strategist whose mind never ceases to amaze him.

However, Qiemo’s struggles run deeper than a mere power dispute. As Cui Buqu and Feng Xiao dig further into the city’s secrets, they uncover evidence of a conspiracy stretching across the empire and beyond. And the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their path becomes.

Intrigue, deception, and an undeniable attraction continue to unfold in Peerless Vol. 2!
