He was abandoned by the world—yet chosen by fate. At twelve, Kyle Ashford survives by stealing on the streets, until a pair of enigmatic swordsmen pull him back from the brink of death. He is drawn into the hidden world of the Awakened and accepted into the Emerald Cloud Sanctum. Deep within its bamboo groves, he meets a girl as radiant and fierce as flame—Lyra Valemont. He saves her with his blood. She loves him with her heart. What he does not know is that the gears of destiny have already begun to turn. His senior brother stands falsely accused. His closest friend’s origins are shrouded in mystery. And he himself is the adopted son of the Demon Sect’s sovereign. When the truth comes to light, he will lose everything—his master, his beloved, his sect, perhaps even his life. What he does not know is this: two women are willing to die for him.
