Shen Tai has spent 2 years at Kuala Nor mourning the death of his general father. He is living the life of a hermit burying the dead of a great battle between the Kitans - allied to the imperial throne and the Tagurans. He buries bodies from both sides to set the ghosts to rest and is honored and provided for by both sides. A friend from the court city comes bearing bad news and is slain by the Kanlin assassin who accompanied him. The assassin is attacked by a mighty wind and 2 Taguran soldiers. Tai, with his gift of 250 Heavenly Horses - a gift from a princess for burying the dead, reenters society to avenge his friend's death, discover the bad news and right it, and to revisit his Spring Rain. Tai is an honorable man in an epic story combining history and fantasy.
