Shen Qiao is a devout Daoist priest who has spent his life honing his skills and spirit, leading his sect with martial talent, beauty beyond measure, and an earnest heart. His polar opposite, Yan Wushi, leads one of the most powerful demonic sects and is said to be unrivaled in his strength and cunning. Yan Wushi believes in the inherently selfish nature of all people—himself included—and that nobody is above committing dark deeds for their own benefit.
When a fight leaves Shen Qiao injured, blind, and with hazy memories, Yan Wushi takes in the defeated sect leader with a dark plan: test the limits of the man’s patience and faith in others to lure him onto the demonic path. Little does he know that he is about to meet the first immovable force of his life, and that two hearts can connect in unexpected ways. With the passing of a thousand autumns, who can stay eternal?

"Wonderful, mind-expanding stuff, and well written too."-The
Guardian Axiomatic is a wonderful collection of eighteen short
stories by Hugo Award-winning author Greg Egan. The stories in this
collection have appeared in such science fiction magazines as
Interzone and Asimov's between 1989 and 1992. From junkies who
drink at the time-stream to love affairs in time-reversed galaxies;
from gene-altered dolphins that converse only in limericks to the
program that allows you to design your own child; from the brain
implants called axiomatics to the strange attractors that spin off
new religions; from bioengineering to the new physics; and from
cyberpunk to the electronic frontier, Greg Egan's future is
frighteningly close to our own present. Included in this collection
are such wonderful stories as: "Axiomatic" "Into Darkness" "The
Safe-Deposit Box" "Blood Sisters" And many more! Axiomatic is the
perfect collection for any science fiction fan, especially one who
enjoys Greg Egan's work. The stories are imaginative and
insightful, and written only the way that Greg Egan can do so.
