Sword of Sorrow, Blade of Joy

A jaded swordsman, a fleeing girl, and a fated sword all come together in this story that's inspired by martial arts classics.

As the last swordsman of the legendary Blue Mountain, Li Ming's purpose was clear: he would hunt down the ruthless Black Tiger General and then reunite with his departed master and family in the afterlife. But fifteen years have slipped through his fingers, and the trail has gone cold.

When he crosses paths with Shu Yan, a runaway serving girl with no one else to turn to, Li Ming stands at a crossroads. Will he continue on the treacherous path of vengeance or heed the call of those in need?

Inspired by classic Kung Fu films, spaghetti western movies, and anime, The Tales of the Swordsman series is a story of wuxia action, witty banter, laugh-out-loud humor, martial arts camaraderie, bandits, princesses, and treacherous villains.
