The tale unfolds across eras—starting with a tragedy in the richly detailed world of late 20th-century Taiwan, stepping into the present day, and glimmering with the foreboding rise of a dystopian tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeclared dead in prison records, Yan Tieh-Hua mysteriously returns to Taipei, reigniting the investigation into a decades-old massacre—her own family’s. As she carves a bloody path toward vengeance, Detective Lei is drawn into a chilling spiral of cold cases, supernatural events, and impossible truths. Alongside Yan is Higa Mirai, a young Go prodigy with the uncanny gift of precognition, adding eerie weight to every move made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith sharp moral tension, brutal action, and a uniquely Taiwanese swagger, Yan is more than a mere quest for revenge—it’s a vision of justice that questions what lies beneath our choices, and what might come after humanity loses control.","brand":"Titan Books (US, CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55036155101527,"sku":"9781787744424","price":18.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/9781787744424_a23e781f-10da-46e7-ad8b-ede2e802305c.jpg?v=1789513773","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/yan-vol-1-chang-sheng-9781787744424","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
