Starfall Embers

The first book in the Star-Picking Trilogy

A transmigrator desperate to go home, and the tyrant destined to destroy him.

Xiang Xia wants only to escape this damned otherworld and return home. The price: eight hundred years of cultivation, command of the Demon God Roll, and the destruction of the Yu Dynasty, which rules over the age.

He never imagined that Yang Shou, the Yu king who sat high above all, a brilliant ruler growing ever more paranoid, was the very same spirited young man who had given him a magic treasure in the wilderness eight hundred years ago. He was also the man Xiang Xia had fallen deeply in love with, yet would have to push into the abyss with his own hands.

The will of the gods cuts like a blade, and fate cannot be defied. The Demon God Roll opens, immortals descend, and former fellow disciples turn into enemies. When the cold Love-Sealing Curse locks away their unforgettable love, and the flames of the Star-Picking Tower burn away their last tender glance...

Xiang Xia holds the Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, a painting that leads back to his homeland. Within it, neon lights blaze and the way home is clear. Yet behind him lie the heavy shackles forged by eight hundred years of entanglement, and the last embers of the stars his beloved burned himself to kindle for him.

In the dying embers, where can he find the way home?
