About

Hong Fei was once a promising soldier. Now his cultivation is crippled, and he limps toward his last hope. After years fighting the empire's enemies, Hong Fei's body and spirit are shattered. His only chance lies with Duke Yu, an old family ally now living in exile. All he seeks is a quiet position in the noble's household, a place to fade into obscurity with dignity. But fate has other plans. Two mysterious cards fall into Hong Fei's possession. One summons a giant badger spirit beast. The other heals what everyone said couldn't be healed. When he finally reaches the Yu household, he finds not refuge but a family under siege. The duke is dying. The duchess hides her own illness while rival nobles circle like wolves. Everything depends on two young heirs who aren't ready for the threats closing in. Hong Fei wanted to disappear. Instead, he must become the shield between a falling house and those who would devour it. Yet behind the political schemes and assassination attempts, someone is stealing fate itself, and the Yu family is only the beginning. Sometimes the broken are the only ones who can see what needs fixing. A xianxia-inspired story with LitRPG, deckbuilding, and summoning elements. Chapters are published three times per week. The cover was illustrated by Alejandro Colucci. The first book of Fate's Attendant is available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. Because of the exclusivity required by Amazon, all but the first two chapters have been removed from Royal Road. The chapters you see here are from the series' second book.
