The monks are divided.
The enemy is closer than ever.
And ancient power has begun to stir.
After a disastrous attempt to strike back at the Red Cobras, Raziel Tenza and Rin Torra are torn apart-with Rin vanishing in a cloud of smoke and their fragile alliance shattered.
Sensing opportunity, Raziel's ruthless rival Nox pulls him into the heart of the Red Cobras and sends him on a dangerous mission: infiltrate the monastery's most secret vault and steal a mysterious artifact that fell from the sky.
What Raziel uncovers is far more than a weapon.
Hidden beneath the monastery lies the Phantom Pillar-a relic capable of awakening the Ancients, legendary beings who once kept the world in balance. When Raziel touches the pillar, he is drawn into the Twilight Realm, where he comes face to face with his ancestors.
Desperate to defeat the Red Cobras and restore the honor of the Twilight Monks, Raziel begs for their power.
They agree.
But only if he accepts a far greater responsibility than he ever imagined.
Fast-paced, illustrated, and anime-inspired, Twilight Monk: Return of the Ancients raises the stakes with betrayal, ancient power, and a hero forced to choose between loyalty and destiny.
