Ashes and the Bitter Harvest: A Tale of Resurrection and Revenge

The sun has set on Yunmeng, and the nightmare has only just begun. Following the brutal destruction of Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian finds himself in a desperate race against time. With his home in ashes and his brother, Jiang Cheng, left hollowed and broken by the Core-Melting Hand, Wei Wuxian is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice-one that the world must never know. Cast into the literal abyss of the Burial Mounds, he discovers that when the light of cultivation is extinguished, only the darkness remains. From the bones of the dead, the Yiling Patriarch is born. But as he leads the Sunshot Campaign to a bloody victory, he realizes that the power which saved his family may be the very thing that damns his soul forever. Book II of the epic saga explores the price of vengeance and the ghosts we can never outrun.
