China, 1899. In a land of immense beauty and timeless tradition, Third Master is heir to a banking fortune he cares little about. He reluctantly submits to the pressure of his title and his father, Lord Kang. But his father’s attempts to prepare him for leadership do not sit well with Third Master, who sees the salvation of his family’s empire in following the righteous path of his ancestors. Their tense relationship is further complicated by the son’s feelings for his young stepmother – his first and only love stolen from him by his father. The fate of the Empire of Silver and its most powerful family lies with the idealistic Third Master who’s torn between the needs of the people, duty to his family and undying love for a woman.
