Taryn is ecstatic, as he suddenly has an abundance of knowledge at his fingertips… Unfortunately, he’s unable to make use of that knowledge without Eco. And the Mourner's spirit has begun showing Taryn visions of a possible future—one where his home is destroyed and the only family he knows dies before his eyes.There’s only one way to prevent this future from coming to pass. The journey will either force him to surpass those who once mistreated him or end in his death, and not even the Mourner has the knowledge of which outcome it will be... From Kenneth Arant, bestselling author of the Snake’s Life Series, comes a brand-new cultivation adventure perfect for fans of xanxia, demon beasts, and mystic martial arts of all types.

    Murder. Cupcakes.

Meet Stella Storm. Stella lives an ordinary life. She runs a popular small-town bakery called Witchy Delights. She has a quirky dog and a moody cat. And she loves nothing more than a gossip with her closest friends.
