Descendants of the Gods: The Bronze Edge

This novel blends supernatural combat with a campus setting, serving as the first installment in a planned seven-part saga. One night, Ye Shengming loses his family, his home collapses, and his childhood ends. In their wake, he is thrust into a far larger truth about the world's past and present—and handed a weapon he never asked for. They tell him that humanity only became human through divine blessing, and now humanity must finish off the surviving gods for good. Leaving behind everything he once knew, Ye Shengming chooses to move forward and enrolls in Canaan, a special school established by those who share this mission. Here, the students are both utterly unlike him and strangely familiar, and he gradually realizes they are the "companions" he has yearned for throughout his fifteen years of life. At the start of the new semester, the gods awaken from their dark subterranean slumber, igniting a conflict between those who hate them and those who revere them. Caught at the heart of this storm, Ye Shengming must confront what he will lose—and what he might yet gain.
