WHERE THE WANDERING SOUL RETURNS
Book One
Some souls are not born to remain behind walls.
Reborn with the memories of another life and blessed with a mysterious Space Gift earned through good karma, Su Ya, the forgotten youngest daughter of the noble Su family, has never desired wealth, power, or status. While noble ladies dream of becoming empresses and princes' wives, she dreams of mountain valleys, ancient forests, hot baths after long journeys, and a quiet cottage she can truly call home.
Branded an embarrassment after publicly humiliating the imperial princes as a child, Su Ya spends her youth wandering the vast lands of the Hang Dynasty. Along the way, she becomes a healer, hunter, warrior, and protector of ordinary people, earning the legendary title of the Silver Wanderer.
On her twentieth birthday, her grandmother reveals an ancient family secret: every Wanderer is destined to find a sacred land that calls to their soul-and a Soul Partner chosen not by power or politics, but by the heart of the land itself.
Following an irresistible pull deep into the western mountains, Su Ya discovers a hidden valley untouched by time. There she awakens her emerald Familiar, Qing, uncovers the forgotten legacy of the Wanderers, and begins restoring a long-abandoned home.
Fate also introduces her to Sen Yang, a quiet mountain hunter whose strength rivals bears, whose heart is as steadfast as the ancient pines, and whose greatest wish is simply to live honestly among the mountains he loves.
Together they discover that home is not merely a place...
It is the people who choose to walk beside you.
But while peace has finally found them...
Others have begun searching for the valley.
And not everyone comes seeking a home.
Some come seeking to claim it.
