WhispersAndQuills
The Yiling Patriarch is dead, but the silence he left behind is deafening.
While the cultivation world celebrates its bloody victory at the Burial Mounds, Lan Wangji-the esteemed Hanguang-jun-bears the scars of a devotion the world calls treason. Bound by thirty-three discipline whips and confined to three years of isolation, his body is broken, but his spirit is fixed on a single, impossible task: finding the soul of Wei Wuxian.
From the frost-covered peaks of Gusu to the haunted ruins of Yiling, Lan Wangji plays his guqin into the void, asking the same question for thirteen long years. But when the spirits remain silent and the world moves on, he discovers that some vows are written in blood, and some ghosts are worth waiting a lifetime for.
The fourth volume of the saga explores the depths of grief, the strength of silent rebellion, and the legend of a man who waited thirteen years for an answer.
