Soul Flame Vengeance: The Prodigy's Return
Fifteen-year-old Lin Tianyao was once a beloved prodigy of the mighty Lin Clan. That life was incinerated in a single night of bloody betrayal, orchestrated by his father's closest ally. The sole survivor, Tianyao is cast into the soul-devouring Abyss of Despair, where he forsakes the righteous path of cultivation to embrace a forbidden and brutal power: the Path of the Soul Flame, a dark art that feeds on hatred, despair, and vengeance itself.
Forged in agony and tempered by loss, he emerges not as a hero, but as a ghost. Cloaked in a new identity and a facade of mediocrity, he infiltrates the Verdant Sword Sect, the very heart of his enemies' domain. From the lowest position as a menial disciple, he begins his patient, cruel strategy. Using his brilliant, ruthless mind, he moves like a phantom in the shadows, turning allies against each other and sowing the seeds of a devastating war.
Lin Tianyao's soul is a cinder of cold fury, and his vow is absolute: he will not rest until he has orchestrated the utter ruin of everyone who destroyed his clan. He will burn their sects to the ground, shatter their legacies, and make them choke on the ashes of their ambition. But as the bodies fall and the flames of his vengeance rise, he must confront the terrifying truth—to destroy his enemies, he may have to sacrifice the last embers of his own humanity.
