“Fate, reincarnation, the Heavenly Dao: it all began when the heirloom jade pendant was placed in his hands. The upheavals of fate and the rugged road ahead are all fraught with unbearable danger. But now that he has crossed paths with them, there is no turning back! When the dragon roars, the four corners of the world tremble; when the frosty blade is drawn, ten thousand swords submit. Yet when light has lost its warmth, and awakened dark powers, properly wielded, give rise to the last glimmer of hope, can an indestructible three-foot blade still sever the shackles of fate? A swordsman makes his heart his blade; a warrior holds to benevolence. Reluctant slaughter exists only to protect. May the day of our triumphant return find our brothers alive and well, sharing wine and laughter, and the one I love unchanged, still smiling as she stands above the mortal world.”
