Thin Goatskin

In a world where divinity is both a gift and a curse, humanity walks a razor-thin line between light and darkness. Nyxir, born without his darkness, is haunted by cryptic dreams and terrifying visions of an abyss that threatens to consume him. While others tame their divinity to hunt demons born of corrupted spirituality, Nyxir’s struggle is far more intimate — a fractured soul, a sealed darkness, and an ancient force waiting to awaken within him. As forbidden powers stir, hidden factions maneuver in silence, and the earth’s protective seal weakens, Nyxir is forced to confront the monster lurking not only outside but within himself. Torn between the First Light and a growing shadow, he must unravel the truth behind the seal, the mysterious entity named Nyther, and his own destined role in a cosmic battle that could either shatter the world or bind it anew. But some sacrifices can’t be undone, and the balance of light and darkness always demands a price.

But the remnants of the Great Calamity that shattered the universe still linger. Enemies lurk in the shadows, powerful forces seek to suppress his rise, and ancient secrets whisper of a truth that could alter reality itself.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife.

From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.
