Dragon and Phoenix

The epic martial arts tale of The Phoenix Feather, which readers have hailed as a spiritual successor to The Goblin Emperor, puts the entire Afan family into action. Inspired by the great Chinese classics such as Dream of the Red Chamber, as well as the wuxia and xuanhuan TV series like Nirvana in Fire, this four-volume story sweeps from the imperial military academy to the wanderings of martial artists, from the poetic duels of imperial courtiers to the everyday affairs of an innkeeper, and from the human world to the realm of the transcendent, before building to a triumphant conclusion.

Once hidden on an obscure island, the Afan parents go in search of their children, as the emperor seeks them out. Muin's skills as a commander bring him to prominence in a terrible battle.

Prince Jion, once a powerless wanderer, comes into his own as his beloved Ari inspires the world as Firebolt, before the two of them together face the most terrifying enemy of all.
