Author’s Preface
When I imagined this Martial World, I saw a place where strength and honor shape destiny, where legends are born not from titles, but from courage. Five Great Clans rule this land, each with its own legacy, each a test of will, loyalty, and power.
From the justice of Xing Clan, to the honor of Sheng Clan, the flames and secrets of Feng Clan, the controlled destruction of Huo Clan, and the ancient might of Long Clan—heroes and outcasts alike rise, fall, and shape the world.
Legends speak of a Golden Dragon and a Golden Phoenix, destined to meet, yet shadows linger—a weapon forged in betrayal waits, its power enough to change everything.
This tale is about courage, destiny, and the choices that define us. Welcome to the Martial World.
Translator’s Preface
Translating Martial Ascendancy has been a journey into a world of honor, power, and destiny. The Martial World of clans, sects, and legendary bloodlines is rich and immersive, full of both breathtaking action and delicate emotion.
I’ve aimed to preserve the original flavor—the elegance of wuxia, the weight of prophecy, and the depth of the characters—while making it accessible to readers who may be discovering this world for the first time.
May this translation carry you into the peaks of legend, the trials of power, and the heart of a story that spans generations.
