๐Ÿ‰ Plot Summary

Set in 11th-century China, The Great Wall follows a band of European mercenaries who, while in search of mysterious black powder (gunpowder), are captured by a secretive Chinese army stationed at the Great Wall. But they soon discover that the wall was not built merely as a barrier between empires โ€” it was built to keep something far more dangerous out.

That danger comes in the form of the Tao Tei, monstrous, intelligent creatures who attack in swarms every 60 years. The elite Nameless Order must rely on discipline, ancient strategies, and advanced weaponry to protect humanity. When the mercenaries realize whatโ€™s truly at stake, they must decide where they stand: run, or join the fight to save the world.
