Joyful Reunion (Novel) Vol. 6

MOMENT OF TRUTH

Duan Ling and Wu Du return to the capital as mourners from across the land converge on the city for the emperor’s grand funeral. Among them are Duan Ling’s greatest adversaries: Prime Minister Mu Kuangda, General Han Bin, and the false crown prince Cai Yan. As his enemies plot to grasp the throne for themselves, they have no idea Duan Ling is waiting in the wings to overturn everything they’ve schemed for…if he isn’t discovered first.

The closer the funeral draws, the more dangerous the game becomes. Yet Duan Ling can no longer hide in the shadows, protected by Wu Du. He must risk everything to step forward before the nation and claim his birthright as crown prince of the realm—or die in the attempt.

The heart-stopping conclusion to this political epic contains an exclusive new chapter from author Fei Tian Ye Xiang.
