Ashes of New Moon

Meng Liu is betrayed and killed by her bonded partner, Hui Jin, and her half-sister, Qiao Yin—left to die as they watch without remorse. But she is reborn at the New Moon Sect’s bonding ceremony with her memories intact and a single goal: revenge. This time, she bonds with Shui Yuan, a calm and powerful water serpent that once belonged to Qiao Yin. As she trains in chi control and rune formations, Meng Liu takes on dangerous missions to grow stronger and earn resources to help Shui Yuan ascend into a higher form. Hidden behind quiet discipline, she prepares for the moment she can turn the past against those who wronged her—determined that when they meet again, she won’t be the one falling.
