Twin Jades of Jiangdong (Novel) Vol. 2

A KITE SOARS AND A QIN FALLS SILENT

With Zhou Yu’s assistance, Sun Ce has amassed regions and followers in their lofty dreams to claim the known world. But through the turmoil and complexities of war, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce find their friendship slowly superseded by the roles of vassal and lord. Their shifting relationship is tested when Sun Ce marches to battle while leaving governance to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu is forced to make a monumental decision.

Though Zhou Yu knows his friend well, his lord is an entirely different matter, and the consequences of his choice drive the men further apart.
Rumors poison Sun Ce’s heart, straining a bond already stretched thin by unspoken words and commanded absence. Is the promise made in their youth enough to hold Sun Ce and Zhou Yu together?
