RIVER RUNS RED

It’s 1925. Tonkin is shifting into a new era. Infamous võ masters My-Na and Hân are daughters of House Vương, one of Tonkin’s biggest family-owned conglomerates and crime syndicates. Once, these syndicates wielded power drawn from Earth’s five elements to protect the country—now, they rule it.

The expansion of French Indochina to Tonkin threatens to upend their reign. Yet any hope of sisterly unity is shattered when their father announces the title of the heir remains open to claim, driving them into two sides of the battle. Inheriting the house promises wealth, reputation, territory, and most importantly, power.

Intelligent and cunning, My-Na will do anything for this title. Even making a coalition with the new government to seize complete financial and political control. Even if the deal forces her to corrupt the economy and ignore the outcry of workers. Meanwhile, hot-headed martial arts master Hân discovers and joins the youth’s independence movement, one threatening to dismantle the clans altogether.

When the simmering tension between the Vương sisters erupts into open violence in the streets, the outcome of their civil war will determine the fate of their family and of Tonkin itself.
