Manifesting fire. Seeing through walls. Stopping time. Abilities like these separate metahumans from ordinary people. Some metahumans serve as secret protectors, while others use their power for cheap gains. Some only wish to live quietly. And some seek to upend the world. 3,000 years ago, the world looked very different, populated by beings from mythology’s pages. But when the yao of old brought humanity to the brink of annihilation, Emperor Wu was forced to seal away the source of spiritual power, gifting the world to those without abilities. Now, someone is plotting to break that seal in a bid to reclaim what once was. When easy-going fire user Xuan Ji takes a job at the Anomaly Regulation Bureau to escape his mounting debt, he’s forced into a confrontation with the ancient demon Sheng Lingyuan. Enigmatic, aloof, and deeply broken, Sheng Lingyuan seems to have a connection with the seal—and with Xuan Ji himself. Together with a team of quirky metahumans, they must uncover both present-day conspiracies and sorrows from millennia past—and perhaps stop trying to kill each other. Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire is a haunting urban fantasy with biting humour, exploring the lines people draw between each other—and the ones they’ll cross to be together.
