This modern fantasy about gods, ghosts, and supernatural investigations from blockbuster author Priest (Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang, Word of Honor) is now officially in English for the first time! Zhao Yunlan is Chief of the Special Investigations Department: a secret group of uniquely skilled individuals who investigate strange happenings in modern-day Dragon City. Although laid-back and cheeky to those who don't know him, this tenacious and cunning man fits well into his role of the Guardian. While investigating a mysterious death at a local university, Zhao Yunlan meets Shen Wei, a calm and cold professor who proves as intriguing as the case itself. Something about this reserved man feels strangely familiar. Zhao Yunlan can't help but notice the intensity of the professor's gaze, and wonders why their lives begin to intertwine―as if by fate. This trilogy of supernatural novels from China built around the desire between two men (danmei) has been translated into multiple languages and inspired the blockbuster live-action series of the same name, penned by hit-maker author Priest (whose works include Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang and Faraway Wanderers/Word of Honor). The Seven Seas English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations. Review: This is a great and imaginative story - Book arrived in pristine condition and I read it cover to cover right away. How much do I love this story. I am so pleased to have a translation of the actual book. This is Volume 1 so there is more to come. I like all the characters. I love the folk-lore and mythology that inspired the author's imagination. At the dawn of time, the world is created out of Chaos and the force of creation is focused by entities that form the world and make mankind and then one by one sacrifice themselves to seal the sky and the boundaries between the ghost and human realms. Zhao Yunlan is anyone's idea of a hero, handsome, swash-buckling and born with weird gifts for after all he is the Guardian and Chief of the Special Investigation Unit and any supernatural incident that could harm the Human Realm falls under his remit. His team are interesting enough with ghosts, a monk, an ancient talking cat, a hapless swooning intern et al but one of his most intriguing contacts is the Soul-Executing Emissary, swathed in dark mist, incalculable, fearsome, terrifying to ghosts and humans alike and older than the Netherworld. And of course, the love interest, handsome, clever, gentle mild-mannered professor, Shen Wei. A man who has his own mysteries and resolutely plays hard to get. I think Priest is such an excellent story-teller and writer and there is so much to this novel. I cannot wait for Volume 2. Review: A Fun Adventure. - This is a fun book, the first in a trilogy. The characters are endearing and I have been rooting for the main leads to get together. It holds one's interest enough to be a page Turner and wanting to get to the next chapter. I'm intrigued by the mysterious "Shen Wei". Aside from the supernatural contents, there is also a lot of comedy to balance it out. I like the explanations of mythology that are an aside to the main text. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 339,291 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 87 in Gay Fiction for Young Adults 523 in Light Novels for Young Adults 1,431 in Humorous Science Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,006 Reviews | ## Images ![Guardian Zhen Hun (Novel) Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dZfdkWWWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great and imaginative story *by M***A on 10 September 2023* Book arrived in pristine condition and I read it cover to cover right away.
