The Awakening of the Golden Scepter

The Chronicles of the Bronze Sacred Tree: Book One – The Awakening of the Golden Scepter Beneath the shadow of the mysterious Sanxingdui ruins, fifteen-year-old Ayue believes her life is destined to remain ordinary—until a bronze bird bell trembles and shatters the boundary between worlds. Thrust into the Mirror Shu Kingdom, a twilight realm of ancient legends, decaying civilizations, and soul-devouring creatures, Ayue discovers that her bloodline carries a secret older than history itself. Guided by Shipan, the last heir of the Pit Guardians, and haunted by visions of a long-forgotten catastrophe, Ayue must wield the broken Sun Disc scepter and confront forces that seek to corrupt the very essence of existence. Between the echoes of prophecy and the awakening of her own powers, she learns that she is more than a girl out of place—she may be the "Child of Bronze," destined to rekindle the Source Flow and decide the fate of both worlds. Rich with Chinese mythology, archaeological mysteries, and pulse-racing adventure, The Awakening of the Golden Scepter is the first book in an epic fantasy series that blends history and imagination into a breathtaking saga of guardianship, sacrifice, and rebirth.
