China, 1420: The Emperor Yongle never forgot that eighteen years ago he failed to kill the man whose throne he usurped. Fearful of revenge, he sends the Eastern Depot to conclude the bloody episode but the fugitive has disappeared into the vastness of the Ming Empire. The ruthless head of the Eastern Depot has never failed before. Can he find a man lost in the mist of time and kill him? With time against him, a powerful network protecting the lost emperor, and an escape plan beyond his imagination, this mission could be his downfall. Déjà vu. Zhao Qi is summoned to rescue the fugitive emperor again after delivering him to safety eighteen years ago. This time, his teammates have a different agenda. Can he trust them with his life and the emperor's as they play cat-and-mouse with the empire's deadliest assassins?
