The Escort: Storm in the Desert

In the vast desert, a tangled web of escorts, government forces, and five great families of the Western Regions stirs beneath a calm surface. The fugitive, ranked second on the empire's most-wanted list, Dao Ma, accepts a special escort mission, journeying with his companions from the Western Regions to the capital, Chang'an. But their charge turns out to be the empire's most-wanted fugitive, Zhi Shi Lang. As the saying goes, 'All under heaven bustle about for profit,' and factions from every corner catch wind of the scheme, plunging into a deadly scramble for the prize.
