The Banquet of the Winding Wine ends with one nobleman falling asleep warm in his bed. But when
he wakes he’s shackled as a prisoner in the Northern Domain of Tealspire feared by all as an
archfiend! And he’s not the only one who’s just woken up. From fan-favorite danmei author Mu
Su Li author of Copper Coins: Tong Qian Kan Shi —also available from Seven Seas! Floating on
the Boundless Sea is an impenetrable prison thirty-three stories tall where the damned rot and
demons perish: the Northern Domain of Tealspire. It’s at the very top of the spire that Wu
Xingxue has just awakened on a dead tree in the middle of a deep blue lake rinsing strange
blood off his hands. Nearby he hears the sound of metal clanging. Not only is he disoriented
after a night of revelry and ambrosia but he’s now an archfiend shackled in chains?! Clearly
he is no longer living a life of luxury as a nobleman in Magpie Haven. Yet it’s not all bad
news for this bewildered demon. With a stroke of luck his awakening rouses the legendary
Tianxiu Immortal Xiao Fuxuan—a mysterious being who has the power to levy justice all while
bearing the word “absolution” upon his neck. It’s in the nick of time too as they must team up
to escape as Tealspire crumbles around them. Still the mysteries don’t stop there. The two
must uncover why Tealspire collapsed what happened to Wu Xingxue’s former life in Magpie Haven
how he woke up as archfiend and just who the Tianxiu Immortal Xiao Fuxuan really is.
Interwoven with Mu Su Li's signature humor this genre-defying tale dives deep into the nature
of good versus evil—and will make you believe in a love that can last forever!
