A devastating, century-rare locust plague grips the land of Wuzhou, pushing its inhabitants to the brink of despair. In response, Empress Wu Zetian orders a crucial shipment of relief silver to the afflicted regions.

The empire is thrown into turmoil, and the renowned Detective Dee is summoned to unravel this audacious crime.
