Description

Two lives, one death, and a demon's curse. Aili Fallon will never be an ordinary woman again. Immortal, invulnerable to all injury, Aili is tormented by the pain of her two lives, her spirit entrapped in the demonic array. But Liu Chenguang is no ordinary phoenix. She carries her final hope for Aili's healing to the Daxian Republic, into a war where neither mortals nor phoenixes are safe. Demon Zhu Guiren has his own reasons to accompany her, striving with Tainu, the eldest phoenix, to break the great array that holds two million mortal souls, defying the dangers that only he can foresee. As they draw near the secret of Zhu Guiren’s power and Tainu’s hidden past, the stakes of their quest grow ever higher. And as the Sorrowful River devours the land, together they will all risk their lives and hearts to break the ancient curse. The Shoreless River is epic storytelling with adventure, danger, trust, and hope. Perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in deep worldbuilding, spiritual discoveries, and lesbian/gay romance that withstands the test of time. *** The Shoreless River is a slow-burn FF and MM story of love and redemption in a cultivation-inspired fantasy world. It includes war and violence, and themes that may be difficult for some readers. It is the second book in the Crane Moon Cycle duology, and is followed by a standalone novel in the same world, The Seaglass Blade. J. C. Snow (she/her) is a queer fantasy author as well as an academic historian of religion and history. Her fantasy worlds are filled with beings mortal and immortal, striving to understand their own hearts in settings of wonder, joy, loss, and redemption, inspired by the complex intertwinings of environment, history, and culture as well as a wildly unpredictable imagination. When not writing, she and her family make music, garden wildly, and travel to explore the world.
