Publisher's Summary

Books 1–3 of the Painting the Mists series.

Clear Sky, book one:

Martial cultivators, flying swords, and magic talismans.

Life for Cha Ming is a daily grind, a rat race where people don't make any real decisions. When he asks the universe for something more, fate itself answers his prayer. A talisman brush older than time itself sends him to another world where magic, fortune, and danger await.

Now, the world is at his fingertips. He has a new life, a new body, and can wield the five elements. It's too bad his new home is a place where might makes right, and immortal cultivators and demons fight at the drop of a hat.

Where the divine brush goes, danger follows. As its wielder, Cha Ming can't stay out of trouble. Many seek the Clear Sky Brush, and they'll stop at nothing to find it...

Blood Moon, book two:

The kindest hearts make the cruelest villains. The perfect tools if you know where to buy them...

Cha Ming's new brother is a demon fox. He's cute. He's naughty. And he's always hungry. If only Godbeasts didn't grow so damned quickly. When the duo joins their classmate Gong Lan on an expedition, they soon discover that not everything is as it seems. It's not rebels they're fighting, but devils wearing human skins.

Can they disrupt an evil merchant's soul trade without the help of the army? Gong Lan's techniques are driving her mad, and it's only a matter of time before she turns on them.

Light in the Darkness, book three:

Cha Ming and Huxian have faced the heavens and lived...

Crippled and broken, Cha Ming finds himself in an isolated village. Only the efforts of a mortal doctor are keeping him alive. His qi pathways are ravaged, and his organs are failing. It's only a matter of time before his wounds claim him.

Meanwhile, Huxian finds himself in his natural environment—a mountain crawling with powerful demons. To survive, he'll need to eat or be eaten. It's a good thing eating is what he does best.

One man. One fox. One shared life. If one fails, so does the other...

So frustrating

This book started of well, then dramatically went down hill the writing editing and narration are very poor, I couldn’t get through it. I am an avid audiobook listener and this one was one of the worst, normally I don’t leave poor reviews, unless it is warranted and this definitely warrants a poor review.
I only gave it 2 stars overall because it started out quite well.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
