Stars of Chaos

Those born under the stars of chaos either rise to great triumph or fall to an ungraceful defeat.

Amidst a barbarian raid on his remote northern village, Chang Geng’s life is turned upside down - everything he thought he knew about himself turns out to be a lie. Now revealed to be the long-lost fourth prince of the Great Liang Empire, Chang Geng travels to the capital city, accompanied by his adoptive godfather (also revealed to be a lie!) and his two surviving childhood friends. 

While the first book in this series spends a lot of time setting up the story and characters, the next four books follow Chang Geng as he grows from an unworldly youth to a politically savvy adult.
