Dao of Thorns

The Broken Path Book 4

Lian Soh is the bridge — the first Ascendant-stage cultivator in 36 centuries, connected to the planetary entity through the installation's mediation framework. He must navigate demonic sect politics, forge alliances among outcasts and heretics, while the orthodox alliance hunts him with a continental death warrant and the entity's influence produces resonance events in cultivators across the region.
