The story tells of their adventure upon returning to Celestia – an adventure that combines intrigue, plot twists, power struggles, love tangles, dazzling martial arts and a very wise old monk.Along the way, they learn that it isn’t easy to tell friend from foe. Finding out the real killer of their parents is more complicated than it looks. And the heavenly sword is more than just a sword. It contains an ancient secret that, if fallen in the wrong hands, can have repercussions far beyond Celestia.
