To end the Silence of All Magic, they must uncover the truth behind the mythical Dinghai Pearl. But the deeper they dig, the more Xiang Shu discovers an impossible connection between the Pearl's long-lost creator and his own past. With the world's magic gone, Chen Xing's Heart Lamp is the only light that can hold back the darkness. But every time he uses it, it drains his life force--leaving him weaker, and the toll growing with each battle. Chen Xing is ready to make that sacrifice but Xiang Shu is not willing to let him.
