Book Ballad of Sword and Wine: Qiang Jin Jiu (Novel English) Vol. 5 / Tang Jiu Qing

SINS OF THE FATHER

As Shen Zechuan strives to secure control over Zhongbo with the support of Yao Wenyu, he finds himself hindered by a burden he cannot shake—his own family name. No matter his achievements, the shadow of the traitor Shen Wei clings to him, poisoning alliances and fanning distrust. If Shen Zechuan hopes to extend his influence across the region, he must confront the past that threatens to consume his future.

Meanwhile, far to the north, Xiao Chiye struggles to gain his footing within the Libei Armored Cavalry. Their enemy, Amur, has dispatched his strongest general to the frontier, and Libei’s forces are pushed back again and again by an adversary who seems to foresee their every tactic. Determined to escape the long shadow cast by his father and brother, Xiao Chiye hungers to prove himself as the commander who will lead Libei to triumph—but time is running dangerously short.

Haunted by legacy, driven by ambition, and poised at the brink of war, Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye must fight not only their enemies, but the ghosts that follow at their heels.
The ruthless, sweeping tale of power and identity continues in Ballad of Sword and Wine: Qiang Jin Jiu Vol. 5.
