Strike the Zither follows a strategist who will do whatever it takes to change her fate amidst a war where betrayal is always around the corner.
The year is 414 of the Xin Dynasty, and a puppet empress is on the throne. The realm has fractured into three factions and three warlordesses hoping to claim the continent for themselves. But there are more enemies than one—and not all of them are human.
Orphaned at a young age, Zephyr took control of her fate by becoming the best strategist of the land and serving under Xin Ren, a warlordess whose loyalty to the empress is double-edged—while Ren’s honor draws Zephyr to her cause, it also jeopardizes their survival in a war where one must betray or be betrayed. When Zephyr is forced to infiltrate an enemy camp to keep Ren’s followers from being slaughtered, she encounters the enigmatic Crow, an opposing strategist who is finally her match.
Full of politics, strategy, secrets and betrayals, plotting and plot twists, and a hint of romance Strike the Zither has a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy. The development and growth of He's characters is outstanding, the execution of of the plot and the pacing of this Three Kingdoms-inspired story were seamlessly melded together, and I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel!
