by the rivers

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night. ======= https://discord.gg/hfsxubXx2T

The Sword of Mountains and Rivers is an epic traditional martial-arts novel set in the Ming dynasty, where the martial world, old sect feuds, and hidden struggles of court and country converge. After a disastrous scheme sends the young Fang Yingjie of Fang Stronghold over a cliff and into disappearance, he is swept into a vast and deadly web spanning the Mount Hua Sect, Fang Stronghold, the Four Sacred Gates, the Crimson Flame Palace, and forces within the imperial court. What begins as a single misfortune soon opens onto a far greater mystery—one bound up with his father’s fate, his own origins, and a world already splintering beneath the weight of old grudges and buried designs. Frail and untested at the outset, Fang Yingjie is driven through exile, false accusation, captivity, hardship, training, and vengeance. In a world of bloodshed, loyalty, betrayal, and broken oaths, he must carve his way toward the truth, toward his own road in martial arts, and toward the strength to endure what fate has left him. Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its emotional force, the novel blends vendetta, political intrigue, hidden lineages, and the making of a hero. It tells of how a boy who begins with nothing but a broken life and a solitary body rises at last as the Golden-Armored Dragon, bringing light once more to the mountains and rivers. With its rich ensemble cast, austere moral grandeur, and a world shaped as much by human bonds as by the collapse of old alliances, The Sword of Mountains and Rivers offers both the fierce exhilaration of the martial world and the tragic recoil of destiny.

She will end him. Even in fleeting moments of peace, the screams of that night haunt her — a searing reminder of what was stolen. And she won’t stop until the last breath of her enemy is silenced.
