BOOK 10. There are two tales at the beginning. Zhao Yunlan is searching for a lost artefact while Black Robe is searching for the same thing in a different world. One story is partly an illusion, while the other is very real and when they merge, life changes for both of them. As the story continues, it follows Yunlan's life as a negotiator for the police, and Shen Wei as a tutor and new host for Black Robe. They suffer pain, have injuries, experience love, and learn what it's like to live in the shadow of Black Robe.
BOOK 3. Shen Wei works in a bank in the background because he does not like to mix with the customers. After a raid, he is mistaken as the inside man but only briefly which leads to him meeting Zhao Yunlan. The story follows their relationship through illness and crime and eventually finding out their past historical connections. I usually wait until my stories are complete before posting. There are one or two references to the last book, very small links. There is more physical violence in this book which was a challenge for me but fun. Hope you enjoy it, as always, it's pure imagination.
