When Teal helps an injured soldier by hand-delivering a scroll to the Emperor, he is offered a place in the Emperor's harem. Teal is of Lombock descent however, a cannibalistic race of beings who were believed to have died out. Having grown up on the outskirts of the Empire, Teal finds adjusting to life as the Emperor's concubine difficult, especially when he starts to fall for the Emperor's number one concubine instead.  As he begins to learn about his origins, he also stumbles on old dark secrets; traitorous spies, unfinished disputes, and old enemies from neighboring kingdoms hide in plain sight within the palace walls, all threatening to ignite Teal's true identity and with it, cause the return of a race of beings who once controlled the world with horrific consequences. The only way out? A possible alliance with a defiant and strong-willed princess and a group of magical assassins who wish to control the world as they see fit. 

(Contains mature content)

This story was inspired while reading the book "Emperor Dowager Cixi" by Jung Chang. Quite a bit of Ancient Roman politics also inspired/influenced me.

Incent, a young hunter, is thrown into a dark and terrible job by his King. He is asked to assassinate a Prince from a neighbouring Kingdom. Knowing that he has only one year left of being a hunter, he wants to put every bit of himself into the given deed, however, he finds himself doubting himself and his goals. Humans aren't his only worry though. Incent lives in a world where demons walk among them and being a hunter means he must exterminate them. But could he exterminate a living human for his King? And what happens when his victim becomes far too interesting to remove from his life? Highest Ranking: #160 in Fantasy Excerpt: "The talisman was a long, curved piece of gold, inlaid with small diamonds along the edges. It was almost like a boomerang, except it was smaller and had ornate carvings of old Pagan runes on it that could, unfortunately, no longer be read by any man or woman still walking on Earth. Par quickly picked up everything that had fallen out of his bag before he threw it on his back saying "grab on," and extended his hand towards mine. I rolled my eyes at his dramatic speech and took his offered hand." *This wonderful cover was created by @holmesfapel - check out the stories there too!!!

A soft exhale escaped through the Heavenly Emperor's lips, helplessly staring into the endless void, whising the universe would, in it's infinite apathy, allow him to return into it's cold embrace, never to see the sunlight again. After the blink of an eye, he said, so softly it may as well have been an illusion: -Why did it have to be like this... Why did you have to be like this? The immortal didn't answer. He simply knelt, his head bowing to the ground in silent submission. -I have loved a man more than duty. Yet I do not carry the shame of regret. Forgive me, my Lord, for I have sinned. Between heaven and earth, mortals and immortals coexist in a delicate balance. But when the actions of the past become entangled, destiny becomes a labyrinth with no exit.
