Uru's Third Temple
Ruwen’s life is inside out, literally. Trapped in the Spirit Realm by a hostile god’s magic, Ruwen’s spells, abilities, and skills no longer work. Worse, his secret Cultivation ability is now blindingly evident.
A critical clue, given to Ruwen during the betrayal, makes him question the motives behind the treachery and offers a path home. But the Spirit Realm is dangerous, and with no other options, Ruwen must embrace his Cultivation, learn to harness his power, and create his Core. Failure will leave him defenseless and guarantee an eternity of pain and suffering.
And as Ruwen struggles to find a way forward, he is stunned to discover plans that span over ten thousand years. Secrets involving his missing parents, the gods, and himself.
To face what’s coming, Ruwen must risk everything for the skills to survive.
