Description
#1 HISTORICAL NOVEL ON ROYAL ROAD FOR 28 DAYS
To break Japan's cycle of vengeance, the Divine Council summons the one emperor whose own bloody past refuses to stay buried.
The ghosts butchering the archipelago's elite are using the exact methods that once made him a legend. Unfortunately for the spirits, that retired emperor is the only man who can stop them.
Galan has already won. He conquered the Roman Empire, rewrote its laws, and finally sated the vengeance that forged him. Yet peace remains a hollow triumph when it is haunted by the wife he could not save.
Seeking escape from a grief his throne cannot silence, Galan accepts a mission from the Divine Council to investigate a plague of supernatural murders in Japan. He has seen too many empires unravel beneath cycles of vengeance to ignore the warning signs.
But their method of karmic slaughter mirrors his history of surgical executions far too closely. To stop them, Galan must confront the ruthless conqueror he once was and the grieving widower he remains today.

Advance Praise
"I'm just surprised I didn't buy it in a bookshop! It feels like the kind of book I’d expect to find in a traditional bookstore... clean, polished, and easy to read, with vivid, cinematic descriptions."
— T.J. Mothwood, Early Reader Review
"Galan isn't your standard power-fantasy bloke; he’s an ancient god-emperor weighed down by grief and trauma. The transition from a cozy slice-of-life vibe to clinical, surgical brutality is seamless."
— Ed Bellorin, Early Reader Review
"This isn't a standard power fantasy. This is a story about a man with infinite power who still can't handle a single memory triggered by a stranger's kindness... immortal strength versus very human grief."
— chuckrocket, Early Reader Review
"Rich worldbuilding with narrative and characters equal to its grandiose scope. It has an immense weight that any great fantasy story has."
— BetoTriestoWrite, Early Reader Review
