The deeper you go, the darker it gets—and Kaz is about to learn just how dark the depths can be.
Leaving the upper levels behind, Kaz, Li, and their human allies descend into the mountain's brutal mid-levels, where the rules have changed, and the monsters are no longer recognizable. Captured by the relentless mosui and surrounded by fulan-twisted horrors, survival demands more than strength—it demands sacrifice. As Kaz pushes his cultivation to its limits and his companions prove their worth in blood and bone, one question haunts them: how far must they go to find answers, and will those revelations be more than they can handle? A slow-burn progression fantasy of treacherous descent, tested loyalty, and the courage to face what lurks in the dark. Narrated in duet style.
