The Poisoned Baptism

Tang Dynasty China. When General Yang Sixun dies from a poisoned cup, the trail leads not just to a powerful rival's jealous concubine, but to the "Pure World Sect" — a cult promising salvation through a final, deadly baptism. Undercover agent Li Jun must live a lie among fanatics, discovering that truth is a luxury that kills. As hundreds prepare to drink the sacred poison, he is the only sane voice left to collapse the temple of lies before it swallows them all.
