POINT OF NO RETURN After failing in their quest to capture the
treacherous Xu Shuanglin, Mo Ran and Chu Wanning pursue him to the
impenetrable Mount Jiao, accompanied by the noble Nangong Si and the
leaders of the cultivation realm’s great sects. There, they find the
ancestral tomb of Rufeng Sect transformed into a macabre spectacle
under the influence of Xu Shuanglin’s forbidden magic. And their
adversary’s work is not done: as Sisheng Peak and their allies fight
their way to the top of the mountain, Xu Shuanglin resorts to a
powerful and mysterious magic that threatens to tear their world
asunder. As the combined forces of the cultivation world race to stop
Xu Shuanglin, Mo Ran must finally confront the past he’s been running
from since his rebirth. Will Mo Ran lose everything he has gained in
this life—including Chu Wanning? Series Overview: Cruel tyrant
Taxian-jun killed his way to the throne and now reigns as the first
ever emperor of the mortal realm. Yet somehow, he is unsatisfied. Left
cold and bereft, abandoned by all he held dear, he takes his own
life…only to be reborn anew. Awakening in the body of his younger
self—Mo Ran, a disciple of the cultivation sect Sisheng Peak—he
discovers the chance to relive his life. This time, he vows to attain
the gratification that once eluded him: all who defied him will fall,
and never again will they treat him like a dog. His greatest fury is
reserved for Chu Wanning, the coldly beautiful and aloofly catlike
cultivation teacher who betrayed and thwarted Mo Ran time and again in
their last life. Yet as Mo Ran shamelessly pursues his own goals in
this life he thought lost, he begins to wonder if there might be more
to his teacher—and his own feelings—than he ever realized. This Chinese
fantasy (xianxia) epic built around the desire between two men (danmei)
has been translated into multiple languages and inspired a multimedia
franchise in China. The Seven Seas English-language edition will
include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations from
artist St with a translation by Rynn & Jun.
From her pygmy goat farm in Vermont, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel
wonders: Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a
scathing memoir about her own greed and privilege?
But how can she just sit around writing a book when the world is
hanging on a thread?
In this hilariously skewering comic novel, Alison is existentially
pained by a climate-challenged world and a country on the brink of
civil war.
Her first graphic memoir about growing up with her taxidermist father
has been adapted into a highly successful TV series, Death and
Taxidermy. It’s a phenomenon that makes Alison, formerly on the
cultural margins, the envy of her friend group.
As the TV show racks up Emmy after Emmy, Alison’s own envy spirals.
Surely writing her own wildly popular reality TV series wouldn’t be
that hard? One that shows people how to free themselves from consumer
capitalism and live a more ethical life?!
In Spent, the celebrated, bestselling author of the modern classic Fun
Home presents a laugh-out-loud and passionately political work of
autofiction, and once again proves that “nobody does it better” (New
York Times) than the real Alison Bechdel.
