Orphans cried out, and the world trembled. In the Northern Kingdoms, the chemical Fye can be found in the very air the citizens breathe. Those born with the ability to utilize this potent power dominated the world, and established an Empire that weathered more than fifty generations of turmoil. Vince, a Wolf gang scout, had no lofty dreams, no ambition save for passing his 10th birthday with food on the table. Unfortunately, for the Lowborn, even such simple goals come at a price. But when pushed past their breaking point, they would teach this world a lesson: There is no force more dangerous, than someone with nothing to lose.

Review "A very fine beginning to an exciting new fantasy series.This is the kind of book that you hope finds an audience.Zhu had created such a fully-realized and riveting worldthat a reader wants to stick with the book for longer. Fortunately, this is a series, so more books are coming." -SPR
From the Author -New edition uploaded 8/31/15, Professionally formatted to improve the reading experience -Once again enrolling it under Kindle Unlimited since readers have emailed me asking me to do that. :) Thank you all for your interest in my work. (Should be enrolled once again, by 9/19/2015)-Second book is more than half way done(16/10/2015) My goal is to have it finished/carefully edited by the end of this year.Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions/ask to be added to my mailing list at: Thelordofnerds@gmail.comThank you.--- When I sought publishers, one asked me to change my writing to appeal more to Asian Americans, the other told me to adopt a non-Asian Pen name. However, neither of them denied my talents. Despite knowing the dangers of self-publishing, I decided that ultimately, Asian authors should not have to be pigeonholed into a niche.I set out to write a good dystopian fantasy novel, without catering to the whims of others, and without betraying the integrity of the real life stories that inspired this book. And as I clicked "Submit" after thousands of hours of writing, I wished for only one thing: That should this work fade into obscurity, let it be because my talents were found lacking. And if you read this far... Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the book(Should you decide to grab a copy)

8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. I highly recommend this book By George Fan This series starts explosively with "The Emperor's Shadow."The story begins with the lives of seemingly insignificant orphans wandering the streets, but you are quickly drawn into their world. You discover the injustices committed by the nobles of the Glorious Empire, and of the characters' desire to bring forth true change. The protagonists truly grow throughout the course of the novel as they grapple with the themes of justice, sacrifice, honor, and betrayal, all complex things for a child to comprehend. At the end of the novel, you are left wanting more and wondering what is next.If you're a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist (manga/anime) or Eragon (fantasy) or Hunger Games (fantasy), I highly recommend this book.

Great start, rough finish By John This new fantasy book introduces an interesting world and magic system, even if done on an overdone theme (abuse of authority by rich and powerful who are the only ones with access to magic, the poor live terrible lives, with the focus on orphans who overcome these struggles to attend an academy and challenge the system). The reliance of the magic on a chemical in the air that isn't present in some regions serves to make new and exciting what otherwise would have seemed boring.The book is divided into two parts: the first detailing the lives of multiple orphans from different regions and their attempts to overcome their present situations. This section is very well done, and I was able to empathize with the story of the orphans, which served as believable characters who I really wanted to root for. The second section, however, skips many years into the future, and is told predominantly in flashbacks to the time period between the two sections. Now, I understand that this was done to introduce some mystery and suspense into how things became what they were in the second section, but mostly it was just annoying to me. I was looking forward to learning about what happened in the intervening period, but only learned bits and pieces through the flashbacks, and not nearly enough to completely justify the way things were by the end. Additionally, I'm still very much in the dark about the nuances of magic and the academy itself, which were, in my opinion, the things I was looking forward most to reading about. I can understand being in the dark during the first section -- the reader knows just as much as the main characters know about the academy and magic. However, in the second section, the main characters have so much extra information compared to the reader, when they come up with clever solutions to problems or perform amazing feats, I'm not impressed, because I have no idea what their limits are in the first place. Also, I'm just not invested in any of the relationships between the characters in the second section, since the relationships all developed and occurred in a time I did not read about. All in all, the lack of knowledge made for a very frustrating ending to the book.In the end, I would rate the first section of the book a solid 5 stars, but the second only 3 stars, averaging to the overall 4 star rating. I will be reading the sequels when they come out in the hope of a repeat of the first section.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Quality book with many levels of complexity By Anezka Bubenickova Interesting take on the formula of corrupt advanced kingdom/empire and fight for freedom.The deeply entrenched caste system with designs that give illusion of the ability to break through castes and rise within the ranks, thin veneer of stability, that started crumble long ago. The hero that is not good in the traditionally heroic sense of the word, that does even thing that go against his conviction, not for the "greater good", but fully knowing that if he refuses, someone else will carry the tasks and in the end he won't be able to save anyone.The pacing is sometimes almost too fast (especially part two). I felt like I was looking at broken shards of history that someone tried to stitch together, but some pieces are still missing. I would like to see more detail, more about the characters and their development, but I don't see this approach as fault. It leaves the book more real. Not as an escape piece of fantasy, you live through the eyes of heroes, but as a story that has bit of a substance, that seams filtered through eyes of the historian, that leaves some places for your own interpretation.
