Synopsis

Cover image by Steven Shan (2023).
A Tale of the Jade Road. (Original work, not MTL)
[Cross-posting to Wattpad and Royal Road.]
***
"Do you understand how I could hurt you? I don't think you realise-"
"I don't. I really don't. I can't think of anything worse than what has already happened."
*
The demon hunter, Miss Fén, has been called to save a town from the hundred-year scourge of a vengeful ghost. But things are certainly not what they seem and this initially simple-looking job becomes a saga of intrigue, from a little village to the highest realms of power.
When they discover that both she and the 'ghost' have been betrayed by the same person, how will they take their revenge?
***
What to expect:
- Intrigue and politics
- Daoist references
- Discussions of mental health, some horror and gore elements
- Strong but not OP characters
- A super slowburn female x female romance
***
The Tales of the Jade Road are a collection of stories set in the same universe, a historical East Asian-inspired fantasy world where the East and the West are linked by a long trading route, the Jade Road. Other Tales include: I'm really not the Saviour!, Eitsu's Nine Lives, and Ginseng and Yew.

    This story is great and the Pronouncation Guide is placed a lot better here than Eitsu's nine lives. The way you describe things is absolutely amazing and the characters are top notch. It's such an amazing read and I would recommend anyone to check it out. Keep up the good work.
