The eastern wilderness had no roads. James guided his horse through dense forest, following tracks that grew fainter with each mile. Vivian knew he was pursuing her. She was covering her trail deliberately, making him work for every clue.

By nightfall, James had traveled thirty miles. His horse was exhausted. So was he, though the Dragon Soul kept his body functioning past normal limits. He made camp in a hollow between two massive trees, building no fire that might give away his position.

Sleep wouldn't come. James lay staring at the canopy, sorting through two lifetimes of memories. His own childhood, poor but happy. Davis's youth, training to become Dragon Nation's protector. The moment of integration had blended them imperfectly. Sometimes James couldn't remember if a memory belonged to him or Davis.

Marcus's death played on repeat. The spear punching through the old soldier's chest. His final smile. His apology to a ghost.

James's fists clenched. Vivian would answer for that.

  • THE DRAGON NATION BLOODLINE

    "Want me to kill him, Lady Vivian?""Not yet." Vivian circled James like a predator. "I want him to understand first. James, you think you're special because you survived death? You're just a vessel. Davis's soul chose you because you were dying and convenient. Nothing more.""If that's true, why run?" James kept his voice steady. "Why not face me in Dragon Nation?""Because I'm smart. Because I don't fight battles I might lose." Vivian stopped in front of him. "But here? With my allies? The odds are acceptable."She raised her hand. The stolen Dragon Soul flared. The two cultivators moved into position, flanking James. Fifty soldiers formed a circle, weapons drawn.James assessed his options. Fighting was suicide. Running was impossible. Which left one choice.Talk."You said Davis's brother survived," James said quickly. "Where is he?"Vivian's eyes narrowed. "Why would I tell you?""Because if his children have Dragon Souls, they're a threat to both of us. Better we find them first

  • THE FALLOUT

    Marcus drew his sword, cutting down the first two. Emily ran for the horses, trying to circle around. James stood his ground as twenty men charged him.He moved like Davis had moved. Like water flowing around stones. The guards' weapons passed through empty air. James's strikes landed with precision, each one disabling without killing.But there were too many. And these weren't common soldiers. They'd been trained by Lucas himself, cultivated to Dragon Soul stage. Not full power like Tega, but enough to be dangerous.A blade cut James's shoulder. Another grazed his ribs. He was strong but he wasn't invincible. Not yet.Marcus went down, overwhelmed by numbers. Emily screamed as guards grabbed her."Stop!" James's power exploded outward, throwing everyone back.Except Vivian. She'd shielded herself, the stolen Dragon Soul protecting her."Impressive," she said. "But exhausting, yes? How much power can you spend before the fragment Burns out? You're not a true Dragon Lord yet. Just a bo

  • DRAGON AWEKENS

    James stared at the message until the words blurred. Emily read over his shoulder."How?" Emily asked. "You just imprisoned her hours ago. The Nine Nether God Prison is supposed to be inescapable.""Supposed to be." James crumpled the paper. The runner flinched at the violence in the gesture. "Take me there. Now."They rode through Dragon Nation's capital as dawn broke. People were still celebrating in the streets, tearing down Lucas's propaganda, burning his effigies. They cheered when they saw James. He barely noticed.The Nine Nether God Prison sat at the city's edge, built into a cliff face. Ancient seals covered the entrance, designed to contain even Dragon Lord cultivators. As they approached, James saw bodies. Guards torn apart, scattered like broken dolls.Marcus met them at the entrance. He'd arrived ahead of them, already examining the carnage."Ten guards," Marcus said without preamble. "All dead within minutes of her imprisonment. Whatever killed them was fast and strong."

  • REINCARNATED TO DESTROY

    Guards flew backward, weapons clattering from their hands. Lucas and Vivian ducked behind the platform.When the light faded, James stood alone in the center of the arena. Every soldier had either fled or lay groaning on the ground. Tega wasn't moving.Lucas emerged from behind the platform, face purple with rage. "You dare? You think one display of power makes you stronger than us?""I don't think." James's voice was cold. "I know."Vivian grabbed Lucas's arm. "We need to retreat. Gather our forces.""Retreat?" Lucas shook her off. "This is our city. Our nation. We don't retreat from a corpse that refuses to stay dead."He raised his hands. Power gathered around him, darker than James's golden light. The Dragon Soul he'd stolen pulsed with malevolent energy, corrupted by twenty years of Lucas's cruelty.Vivian joined him. Her power was ice-blue, forming crystalline patterns in the air. Together, their combined might dwarfed what James had displayed."You're strong," Lucas admitted. "

  • THE GHOST OF TWENTY YEARS

    James's father carried him through Dragon Nation's backstreets, away from the arena, away from the crowd's cheers for Tega's brutality. Each step jolted broken ribs. James bit his tongue to keep from screaming.They reached home. His father laid him on the bed as gently as possible. Blood soaked through the sheets immediately."Stay awake," his father said, but his voice shook. He didn't believe his own words.James tried to speak. Blood filled his mouth instead.His father ran. James heard him pounding on neighbors' doors, begging for help. No one answered. Of course they didn't. Helping a man who'd challenged Lucas's son was suicide.James stared at the ceiling. His vision was narrowing, edges going dark. Lungs wouldn't fill properly. Something sharp ground in his chest with each breath.This was dying. It felt lonely.The door burst open. His father dragged in Old Wei, the weapon seller."I don't heal people," Wei said."Please."Wei looked at James. Her good eye saw everything. "H
