The Forgotten Frontier

In the misty alleys of San Francisco's Chinatown, seventeen-year-old Alex Li stumbles into a dark web forum called "Jueyu"—the Forbidden Domain—where a livestreamed execution is justified by a twisted code dating back to the Tang Dynasty. When a transnational guild of assassins marks him for death, Alex finds his only protector in the worn-out, food-loving Inspector Chen, a man who knows every ghost haunting the streets. As the hunters close in, Chen uncovers a centuries-old brotherhood that punishes those who "cross borders without sanction," forcing him to confront the chasm between law and justice—a gray territory where countless forgotten souls are left to wander.
