Two brothers. Two nations. One destiny. Exiled as a traitor after the Guardian's Tournament, Li Jun has vowed to retrieve the stolen Scroll of Heaven and to honor his father's dying request: find his mother and twin brother, Sai. Fleeing into the East in search of their friend Ren, Jun and his longtime rival Yin Yue have no choice but to trust the two breathmarked women who saved their lives but who answer to the mysterious and draconian Council of Virtue that tore Jun's family apart and banished him and his father a decade ago. Recovering the Scrolls of Heaven or Earth in order to stop the brewing war that threatens to devastate East and West alike isn't Jun's only seemingly insurmountable challenge. The twin he was separated from in childhood is now the High Keeper who resides in the Sun Pagoda, protecting the precious Scroll of Earth from all potential enemies . . . including Jun. The fate of the entire land hinges on an inevitable reckoning between brothers that will test their skills, their loyalties, and everything they thought they knew about themselves and the nature of destiny.
