TL;DR
Wu Ying travels beyond the kingdom of Shen and finds that kingdoms, villages, sects and mortal rulers each interpret the heavens' authority differently. He chases traces of the Heaven's Wind and must work out his place under, or among, the heavens (Risingshadow; tagline 'Heaven commands and the Middle Kingdom obeys').
