A boy raised by demons is sent to kill three people. What he finds instead are the lies that made those enemies at all. Every answer about who he should hate becomes a question about what he actually is, and by the time the conspiracy unfolds, he's already caught between two worlds with no way back to either one.
Li Xiongmao grows up as the only human child on Black-White Mountain, raised by demons who become his family. When his master sends him down into the human world with a single mission, everything changes: find and kill the three people responsible for destroying his people. What begins as a vengeful hunt becomes something far more complicated. As Xiongmao tracks his targets across unfamiliar lands, he discovers that the war between humans and demons runs deeper than he ever imagined. Old alliances fracture. Political conspiracies unwind. The more he learns about what truly happened to the demons, the more his certainty crumbles. Xiongmao must decide whether to follow his master's orders or search for a truth that might cost him everything he believes in. An adventure that questions loyalty, belonging, and whether revenge ever justifies what it destroys. Perfect for anyone drawn to stories about outsiders caught between two worlds, searching for answers in a conflict where no one side holds all the blame.
