Having a Guru is ideal. But what happens when there’s no one to show you the way, and the road ahead has no destination.’ Shui knows three things for sure- everything she’s been told about her family is a lie, she’s finally in possession of a priceless weapon, and she has absolutely no idea what to do next; she’s utterly lost, until she finds herself a reluctant guardian to two hidden children just like her, and in the middle of a hunt that began centuries ago when some men in red didn’t like girls with too much power; it seems like they still don’t. And to top it all off, Anya’s been kidnapped and there’s a malevolent spider weaving a web in her room while someone is weaving one around her heart. With no one to guide her and the whisper of war in the wind, Shui is standing at the precipice of nothing good but perhaps something great. With no one to guide her, Shui must decide whether to take the plunge, alone. There’s a war coming, can she stop it? Does she even know how?
