Ashes of the Firewing

Yu Qingyan's sacred bloodline awakens only when the dying Lu Chuan comes within five paces of her. Bound by blood, they uncover a conspiracy linking his poison, her mother's death, and experiments conducted on members of the Sparrow Clan. When Lu Chuan sacrifices himself to save her, Qingyan gains the power to avenge her people but not to bring back the man she loves. Years later, their shared grave lives on in clan legend.
