  "The specter of civil war haunts a ravaged land. And a specter even more fearsome gains power; for the demon, though defeated, was not destroyed. And now its vengeful spirit has found an unholy sanctuary at the very heart of the Abellican Church. 
   
  As the elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden presses north to reclaim the savage Timberlands from retreating goblin hordes and his companion, Pony, mistress of gemstone magic, turns south to the civilized—but no less perilous—streets of Palmaris, they find themselves caught up in a ruthless power struggle to decide the fate of all Corona. A struggle that will push their courage and love to the breaking point...and beyond. 
   
  Condemned as heretics, the two heroes are hunted by dangerous enemies. The leader of the Church boasts a mastery of gemstone magic that rivals Pony's proven might. And the Abbot's right hand, the Bishop of Palmaris, has claws so sharply honed by hate and magic that no man—or ranger—can withstand their killing stroke. Then an unexpected twist of fate forces Pony to make a harrowing choice, one that may doom the world to demonic domination."

Lei now serves as the bodyguard to the young clan leader Yun. And although the work takes up much of his energy, it also gives him the chance to continue his own investigation. Lei seeks his old enemy Kiang. Nobody has ever seen the man’s face, only heard the unbelievable rumors that surround him.

The enemy has dispatched a new foe to the fight – an incredibly agile ninja who hides his face and tries time and again to kill Lei. The bodyguard of clan Zhou’s leader becomes a permanent source of danger for the very man he is protecting. As if that weren’t enough, the the young leader himself keeps putting his own head in the noose while trying to assert his authority before the other clans. 
  Is Yun a friend, or a future ally? The leader of a mighty clan, or just a boy who lost his father and found himself in a tough spot? Whatever the case, right now Lei is on his side. And to finally solve the matter of redistributing spheres of influence, Yun and Lei have set off for a summit. The heads of all four clans of the Celestial Empire will be gathered there. The fate of this world - and of Lei Cheng himself - will be decided there. All the clans’ forces march toward an ancient monastery high up in the mountains to fight a decisive battle…

  Hello again! It's still me, Max, and I'm still one of the Selected! 
   
   
   
  I hope that by now you've lost any illusions you had about the Selected being some kind of elite force of intelligent civilization, chosen to fight against Universal Evil. 
   
   
   
  So far, the only evil I've seen is the buggy System and the lack of basic sanitary facilities while we're adventuring. Also, it would be a real stretch to describe my companions as "elite". As for all the problems that come with being Selected—well, we can handle them! 
   
   
   
  So, everybody was trying to set us up? To hell with them! Yes, we're all on our own, but now we have our very own Dungeon—we just have to get those dumb gnomes to work for us. Oh, and find out more about these goblins that swiped our waystone . . .
