RELENTLESS, EVEN IN RUIN Dragged back into the present after a battle in a warped past, Wu Xingxue carries the scars of a timeline that should never have been. Xiao Fuxuan brings the weakened archfiend to Fly-On-By to recover, but the hideaway offers little refuge--especially when Feng Xueli, the new archon of Nightgleam, arrives at the gates ready for a fight. The schemes of a long-hidden enemy are dragging them all into dire conflict. Amid the turmoil, the truth of Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan's shared past finally emerges. They share a bond that transcends good and evil, tested by time and tribulation--and desperately needed now as they face impending doom.
