About the product

We’re overjoyed that we could revisit this iconic fantasy series and include it as one of our Illumicrate tenth anniversary sets. A fascinating grimdark trilogy influenced by twentieth-century Chinese history, we’re sure it will end up a classic of the genre.

  • Exclusive slipcases (art by @kerbyrosanes)
  • Art and foil on the hardbacks (art by @tommyarnoldart; design by @chattynora)
  • Digitally printed fore-edges (by @ kerbyrosanes); block-sprayed top & bottom edge
  • Illustrated endpapers (by @ladyeruart); different front and back
  • Annotated content
