Tossing Dragon and Tiger
A thousand years have passed since the Prince in Yellow reset the world. Magic was born—but only for men. Warlocks wield their power with a coin flip, and women are forbidden even a spark.
Zhi Shengsi, a simple baker in Ziyou Town, lives quietly, working to care for her ailing brother. But when nightmares of a tolling bell lead her to a forgotten grave marked Xie Chuanhu, she finds a man buried alive, an omen of death.
What follows drags her into a web of secrets far beyond her world. The man is no ghost, but Jiang Jiawei, the Duke of Zhonghua, a cold and ruthless general, feared across the kingdom. A warlock of near-mythic power, he stands at the peak of the class ranks called Reverend, on the cusp of Reverend Honorable, and destined for Reverend Glory.
Why is the Duke buried in a common grave? How did he vanish from the palace to the soil of Ziyou Town? And why does her heart stir so strangely in his presence?
As truths unravel, she will learn not only who he is... but who she is. A bloodline long forgotten. A power long suppressed.
In this world, a single coin toss can change everything. Like yin and yang, like life and death, a flip decides heads or tails.
And so she will bid her destiny, tossing dragon and tiger.
