Ruwen wants nothing more than to relax in the Third Secret and recover from terrible damage to his core. Escaping the Infernal Realm came at a steep cost — no Spirit use until he heals. But the Bamboo Viper Master's trial started days ago, and not participating purges his Step knowledge. Joining holds extra danger: fighting the Infernal God forced him to use forbidden Shadow Clan knowledge, breaking an oath the Founders will punish. He learns there are seven secrets, not six, and his assumptions fall apart. The seventh step may trap him in shadow's darkness forever.
