The Phoenix and the Sword

For spiritual beings living in the mortal realm, time is a construct. Love never dies, some pasts can't be forgotten, and history can repeat itself... for better or worse.

Aili is planning to embark on her journey to the front lines, thinking she has already saved herself from the childhood she needed to escape. Suddenly a strange woman named Tairei binds her with blood and fire in an unexpected attempt to save her from a death she never imagined. When Tairei disappears, Aili must desperately seek her across the boundaries of worlds.

Aside from her newfound power to command fire and survive death, Aili can't shake the feeling that there's something familiar about their stolen moments together.

One thousand years before, two boys fell in love as they learned to cultivate spiritual power under the guidance of the Crane Moon sect. And now that she remembers her past life, Aili's current life can never be the same.

The Crane Moon Cycle is perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in deep worldbuilding, spiritual quests, and queer love stories that withstand the test of time
