Words: 3742 · Source Novel:: The Forfeit

Detective Chen investigates a Jane Doe washed ashore with ritualistic ligature marks. In a destitute Fujian village, 17-year-old Lin Amao is lured with a fake scholarship to a prestigious American academy. Upon arrival, she is not a student but a commodity funneled into a secret society at James K. Polk High—the Eight Princes, heirs to smuggling dynasties. She learns she has been chosen as the next “living sacrifice,” a tribute to seal a Triad merger, her fate echoing Grand Consort Abahai’s forced martyrdom.
