The Precursor Series
In the fading light of the Ming Dynasty, two worlds collide. Beneath the Forgotten Palace of stone, something ancient stirs. Something cold, calculating and eternal. An intelligence that does not hate, it seeks complete order.
Two souls divided by throne and steel. An inquisitive princess of a dying empire, driven by compassion in a world that punishes it. A boy from a distant land, forged into a weapon by a master who taught him to survive everything but the demons inside of himself.
When the princess uncovers what should have remained buried, she becomes its target. Hunted by forces that do not tire and do not die, she is forced into flight.
Thrown together by fate and war, two lives become one fragile line against humanity’s extinction. One fights with steel and pure force of will. The other fights with intuition and compassion. Both may not be enough.
