A steamy xianxia romance between a young woman and the gender-shifting spirit of the cursed blade she wields. For all her life, Cian-Zhi Nie has lived in the shadow of her twin brother, Heng-Zhi, the Chosen One destined to defeat the Demon Lord Chongyuan, the wielder of the spirit sword Jiehuo Jian. Now, Heng-Zhi lies slain at the hands of his foe. Against the wishes of her father, Cian-Zhi seizes the blade Jiehuo and encounters the seductive gender-shifting spirit which dwells within. Fuelled by her repressed desires - for survival, for power, for love - she bargains with the sword to take up Heng-Zhi’s abandoned quest. Haunted by the shadow of the deceased, both girl and spirit blade embark on a path which may lead them to either ruin or glory… The Celestial Blade is a queer erotic novella about the forbidden desires of the human heart. This book features explicit scenes between a female protagonist and both the female and male personas of the blade she wields. Features power play and role reversals, rough but loving smut, and the conflict between societal expectation and the heart's desire.
