Fifteen years ago, White-Robed Swordsman Kingsley sealed the Demon Sect in a Jade Flute. Now a Great Qian general, he is stripped of his title by Empress Ophelia, misled by false rumors and believing the flute is the key to treasure. She threatens his former comrades’ lives to force it from him, while the court brands him traitor. Unknown to all, releasing the flute revives the Demon Sect. Worse, the Empress and the Demon Sect leader are twin sisters. When the flute falls, betrayal erupts, imperial guard turns on him, and the empire collapses—too late for regret.
