The Song of Scarlet Maples

Once long ago, Lin Hu was the second heir of the Tien clan, but war changed everything. Now he is an outcast, a traitor to his own clan, doomed to live in complete solitude behind the magical barrier that hides his home from the outside world. One day, in the pond near his house, he discovers a girl who has escaped from her past. Lin Hu suspects something is amiss but decides to lend her a helping hand. However, that same night, two spellcasters come to him seeking shelter. Lin Hu realizes that all this is not without reason and soon something is coming.
