The Legend of the White Tiger 7: THE DARK POISON

The Legend of the White Tiger Book Seven: The Dark Poison What do you do when your greatest strength becomes your greatest weakness? Bai Shu, heir prince of the fallen White Tiger clan, has reached the seventh star at just twenty years old. Sent with his elder brother Lin Wei and the elite warriors of the Crane army into the poisoned Southern Swamps, he uncovers a nightmare hidden behind an illusion formation: a floating fortress of the Blood Moon Sect, where captured villagers are twisted into abominations and an ancient serpent spirit has been tortured for years to brew a deadly poison. But the poison is already gone! The sect’s Mistress of Toxins, Yin Du, known as Dark Poison, is on her way to the capital of Hemin, and her target is Prince Lin Shou himself, the Patriarch of the Cranes. In the swamp, Bai Shu learns that strength meant to crush mountains can drown his own comrades. Dragged into the depths by the corrupted Water Serpent, cut off from solid ground and choking on poisoned water, he faces an enemy that grows stronger in its own element while his power drains away. To win, he must learn what no amount of raw power can teach: to ask for help, but every spirit summoning has a price... As the Festival of the Two Sevens approaches and a traitor waits inside the prince’s palace, Bai Shu must return to Hemin, where the family he has found, the woman he loves, and a future he never dared to imagine are all within reach, and all in danger. A tale of cultivation, sacrifice, and the price of protecting those you love.
