Ying is a Tiandi from the east, disgraced by a crime she never committed. She now uses her skills to carve her own destiny.
Overview
Ying and her dao carve out her own destiny.
Ying trained all her life to wear the armor of the Tiandi and become protector of kings and queens. Her dedication was rewarded with a post to a powerful Queen.
One winter night, the Tiandi were ambushed while escorting the Queen to a war council. After a bloody battle, all lay dead but Ying and the Queen.
The Queen bestowed an honorary dao to the brave fighter and made Ying her personal guard. They rushed home to warn of the attack. Upon arrival, the Queen was slain by her own Palace Guards.
Ying sprang to action and slayed the assassins. But the royal household turned against Ying and blamed her for the Queen’s death. That day, Ying became a hunted woman. She escaped with only her dao and the Tiandi armor on her back.
Now a wanted woman, she travels west. With no patience for the ugly work of politics, she brings change the only way she knows how – with her wits and her dao.
