"In the palace, desire is power-and power is never gentle."
Amiyu Voss is new to the Emperor's harem, innocent, vulnerable, and careful to stay unseen. The Emperor, brilliant and ruthless, acknowledges him only with a fleeting touch, leaving Amiyu safe, yet restless.
But the Empress sees differently. Once a revered scholar, now a cunning fox draped in charm and lies, he notices everything Miyu tries to hide: his fear, his gratitude, and the fragile flicker of longing in his eyes.
In the opulent halls of the palace, where politics are played like a deadly game, obsession can wear many faces. And for Amiyu, that obsession has found him. As loyalty, desire, and deception intertwine, he must navigate the treacherous path between safety and seduction, where every whispered word could be a trap, and every glance ignites a dangerous enemy.

Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.
