As escritoras June Hayward e Athena Liu se formaram em Yale e publicaram seus romances de estreia na mesma época. Tudo indicava que chegariam juntas ao estrelato, mas, pouco depois da graduação, Athena começou a colher louros literários, enquanto June recebeu apenas migalhas de reconhecimento. Quando Athena morre em um estranho incidente, June decide que chegou seu momento de brilhar. Por impulso, ela rouba o manuscrito do novo livro da amiga, uma obra experimental sobre a relevância dos trabalhadores chineses durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial.

Rin, die Schamanin des Phönix, wurde verraten. Nun zieht sie sich in ihre Heimat zurück, während die Kriegslords und Invasoren das Reich unter sich aufteilen. Doch im Süden, der von Armut und Einfachheit gekennzeichnet ist, entdeckt Rin die größte Macht des Reiches, die noch keiner der Adeligen bemerkt hat: die unzähligen einfachen Leuten, welche die junge Frau bereits als Göttin der Erlösung anbeten. Vielleicht ist Rins Traum von Freiheit doch noch möglich! Doch während ihre Macht und ihr Einfluss wachsen, werden auch die verführerischen Einflüsterungen des Phönix lauter.

Rin ist auf der Flucht. Noch immer verfolgen sie die Gräueltaten, die sie begangen hat, um ihr Volk zu retten. Sie ist dem Opium verfallen und folgt auf Gedeih und Verderb den tödlichen Befehlen von Phoenix, dem erbarmungslosen Gott, der Rin ihre beängstigende Kraft verliehen hat. Rins einziger Grund weiterzuleben, ist der Wunsch nach Rache an der verräterischen Kaiserin, die ihre Heimat Nikan an ihre Feinde ausgeliefert hat. Rin hat keine andere Wahl, als sich mit dem mächtigen Drachenkriegsherrn zu verbünden.
