Huo Feng Liao Yuan

Near the end of the Eastern Han dynasty, Dong Zhuo seizes the imperial court, holds the emperor under his control, and takes the families of rival lords hostage. As an alliance gathers against him, Lü Bu helps turn Luoyang itself into a trap, placing countless lives between the warlords and their political ambitions.

Behind the armies moves Sima Yi, the brilliant young head of a wealthy merchant clan who protects his family's interests through a secret band of disabled assassins. Their strongest fighter, Liaoyuan Huo, becomes entangled with the great names of the era as schemes overlap and loyalties shift. In a land racing toward the Three Kingdoms, intelligence can be deadlier than any blade.
