Synopsis

Whatever power you think you have is an illusion.
Whatever your dreams are, they belong to me.
And wherever you run, I am already there waiting for you.

'DAZZLING' CHLOE GONG
'GRIM, LUSH, FASCINATING' GUARDIAN

The gripping conclusion to a fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where a girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.

Since Zilan entered the world of royal alchemists, she has learned firsthand that alchemy comes at a price. She has lost her family and her beloved prince in her search for justice against the evil Empress. All Zilan wants now is to find some way to bring them back. Resurrection is her specialty, after all.

In search of Penglai Island, where the infamous myth says life can be fully restored, Zilan starts a new adventure. But Penglai Island has been kept well hidden by a group of unpredictable, and often dangerous, alchemists. Uncovering the secret means challenging some of the most powerful alchemists to ever live. And when old threats come back to haunt Zilan, she will have to decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to save her loved ones-and the practice of alchemy that has long defined her and the world around her.
