They stripped him of his clan, his power, and even his name. They call him the Cripple. But when seven hundred and eighty-four alchemical failures give birth to a pill that defies the laws of heaven, Tang Wu discovers that his shattered core was never a curse: it was the first crack in a Dao that someone sought to erase forever. In a world where gods hunt any who dare to cultivate the forbidden path, the last of the Tang will rise—not with a fist that shatters mountains, but with a cauldron capable of melting fate itself.
