   Summary

   They call him a king when he brings the rain, and a monster when he leaves husks in his wake. Bound by golden bangles and a binding contract that tastes of ash, the Golden-Winged King serves a mistress who harvests souls to fuel her throne. But when his path crosses the territory of the Lord of Rock, the masks begin to slip. A retelling of Xiao’s history, where the line between guardian and ghoul is written in the bitter taste of stolen memories.

   To summarize this story in a short sentence: "Thus I have really destroyed my enemies, for I have converted them unto my friends." A proverb attenuated to various wise rulers over the ages, then to Abraham Lincolin.
