FOG OF WAR Freed at last from the Dragon-Quelling Tower, Hongjun and Li Jinglong race to intercept An Lushan’s advancing rebel army. With every city his horde of humans and yao devours, An Lushan’s demonic power swells. If he is allowed to march unchecked to Chang’an, the exorcists fear he will truly become the heavenly demon Mara and raze the mortal world.
