Chu Wanning has slumbered for five years since Mo Ran rescued his soul from the underworld. He
wakes to find the world changed--and the greatest change of all is to his disciple Mo Ran. Now
grown up Mo Ran is nothing like the callow youth he remembers and Chu Wanning finds himself
drawn to his disciple with a force he never anticipated. Meanwhile Mo Ran has at last set
aside the misunderstandings of two lifetimes. When his hatred for his teacher falls away he
finds the feelings beneath are not respect between master and disciple but fiery passion. Yet
even as the two wrestle with their own hearts Mo Ran begins to realize that this world is
diverging from the past life he remembers in strange new ways.--Back cover.
