Book 1-5 are complete! Book 6 releases T/Th/Sat Chang-li may be a humble scribe, but he dreams of becoming a cultivator. When a ghost's legacy gives him a chance to follow that dream, he seizes it, defying the hidebound Empire and its vast array of rules and customs as he masters lux and perfects himself. But a cultivator needs more than just power. He needs a sect. What starts out as a scheme to avoid punishment becomes so much more as Chang-li and his friends find themselves reviving the ancient Sect of Morning Mist and its lost techniques. Here, a scribe can become a cultivator. A slave can win his freedom. A princess can discard her upbringing. The sect offers a chance for Chang-li and others to claim what's forbidden to them. If they can avoid entangling marriages, official scrutiny, and the wrath of more powerful enemies, the heavens are the limit for their ambitions. Still, someone destroyed Morning Mist once. If Chang-li isn't careful, he might find that having his license to cultivate revoked is the least of his problems... Cultivation with a tower-climbing twist.
