Tales of Herding Gods

What it’s about

After a catastrophe that killed the gods, humanity survives in scattered settlements, always wary of demonic forces. Qin Mu, a young cowherd, lives in a remote village under the care of nine elders. His routine is shattered when the herd starts speaking in human voices. This impossible event reveals that his homeland, long believed abandoned by the divine, conceals many secrets. Strange phenomena escalate: demons emerge in the dark, skeletal remains of deities stir in ruined temples, and an enormous ship sails across the sky. Raised and trained by the elders, Qin Mu must now confront these mysteries and use what he has learned to protect his world.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys sprawling fantasy quests in richly imagined worlds, where ancient gods and demons shape the fate of ordinary people. It will also appeal to those who like coming-of-age stories with a touch of the uncanny.
