Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 05 Special Edition. FINAL VOLUME!
Limited Edition (one printing only!) of this beloved danmei/Boys’ Love wuxia novel series from China that inspired the donghua/animated series streaming in English!
In this final book (Volume 5), read the conclusion to this historical tale of a virtuous Daoist martial artist’s deep connection to the complicated leader of a demonic sect.
In the tumultuous Central Plains, power and prestige are fleeting, and today’s friend is tomorrow’s foe—and Shen Qiao is in the eye of the storm. Following a daring rescue in the midst of a coup that marks the end of a dynasty, the mild-mannered Daoist has no time to rest as rumors of a power struggle call him home to Xuandu Mountain.
But before he even reaches his destination, another whisper upon the wind cuts into Shen Qiao’s heart: Yan Wushi, not yet fully recovered from his damaged demonic core, has challenged Hulugu of the Göktürks to a battle from which only one will survive. Shen Qiao will need to call upon his martial arts and wits to survive the calamity that surrounds him, but when the dust settles, will what he holds dear still remain?
This limited Special Edition contains the Standard Edition, but with bonus merchandise shrinkwrapped to the book: a set of five postcards, a double-sided bookmark, two folded mini posters, and a sticker sheet. Don’t miss the new art from guest artists included in this special merch!
