THE DEMONIC AND THE DIVINEAfter returning at long last to Chang'an, the exorcists brace for An Lushan's attack on the city. Li Jinglong lies injured and unconscious, his heart lamp lost, while the six artifacts of Acalanatha have yet to be recovered. As Hongjun and his companions scramble to evacuate the emperor and citizens from the besieged city, it seems no one has the power to stop An Lushan's monstrous army of demonic soldiers.Everything hinges on Li Jinglong. If he can't reawaken the heart lamp before it's too late, Hongjun will have no choice but to counter An Lushan by becoming the heavenly demon Mara, absorbing all suffering of the mortal world into himself. If Li Jinglong still hopes to save Hongjun from his dark fate, he must return to the beginning of everything and seek salvation in the forgotten depths of their past.
