Sean Russell’s acclaimed duology, The Initiate Brother and
Gatherer of Clouds, together in one omnibus edition for the
first time! Plague and warfare have swept across the ancient kingdom of
Wa, devastating the royal line and leaving a new dynasty on
the throne—a new Emperor, Akantsu, filled with fear of all
who might seek to wrest the Empire from his grasp. Among
those out of favor with the new liege is the Order of the
Botahist Monks, whose mystical powers have enabled them to
hold positions as Spiritual Advisors to the Imperial court
for nearly ten centuries. But Emperor Akantsu fears none so
greatly as he does Lord Shonto, the brilliant leader of the
most important of the old families, whose influence could
rally the Great Houses against the throne, and whose adopted
daughter, the beautiful and talented Lady Nishima, is the
last surviving member of the old royal family. Sent to be military governor of a northern border province
long threatened by barbarian invaders, Lord Shonto knows he
is being lured to his death. But Akantsu has underestimated
his foe, for not only is Lord Shonto the greatest military
genius of the age, but he has with him a Spiritual Advisor
from the Botahist Order—a young man gifted with
extraordinary martial arts skills and magical abilities,
Initiate Brother Shuyun. And even Lord Shonto does not
realize the true potential of this young monk. Only time
will reveal that Shuyun’s magical powers have not seen
their equal in nearly a thousand years—not since the
Perfect Master himself walked the paths of the Empire…
