Forge of Destiny

Every step forward demands cunning, resilience, and the willingness to forge alliances—or make enemies—of those who once looked down on her. But as she rises, the sect’s hidden dangers and her own hunger for strength threaten to consume her. Can Ling Qi master the way of cultivation without losing herself in the process?
