BOOK 1 — Breaking Lantern Code Epic institutional fantasy with a dark Wuxia edge The bells regulate the city. The ledgers decide who gets protected. Yue trained as a healer inside a rigid order built on rules, records, and obedience. When a routine ruling turns ugly and a trail of documents starts vanishing, she discovers something worse than corruption: a mechanism that erases people with perfect procedural calm. To stop it, she must do what she was never taught to do—challenge the code itself. Every step demands proof. Every claim demands witnesses. And every correction she forces into the public record makes powerful enemies more desperate to keep the system closed. Steel can kill a person. Paper can bury an entire district. Breaking Lantern Code launches The Heart Meridian Pact , a dark-leaning, Asian-inspired fantasy series where law is sharper than steel and the fight for justice happens in courtrooms, alleys, and the spaces between one bell and the next.
