A legacy forged in silence. A rebellion born in shadow. A prince who dares to betray eternity.
In the gilded heart of Mönkh Khot, the Eternal Capital, Prince Altan Rikuya lives beneath the suffocating shadow of his immortal father-the Emperor whose reign spans centuries and whose power is tethered to the city's celestial ley lines. But beneath the opulent facade lies a chilling truth: the empire's stability is maintained through dark rituals, vanishing children, and a pact that drains the land itself.
Haunted by the memory of his mother's wild grace and guided by the quiet strength of his guardian Baatar, Altan begins a journey that will unravel the empire's deepest secrets. From the whispering corridors of the Obsidian Temple to the illusion-woven sanctuaries of the Jade Serpents, Altan must navigate a world of hidden alliances, ancient clans, and psychic warfare-all while confronting the legacy he was born to inherit... and destroy.
Betrayer is the first volume in the Children of the Eternal Emperor trilogy-a sweeping epic of rebellion, recovery, and dissolution. Perfect for fans of The Broken Earth, Dune, and The Goblin Emperor, this saga blends political intrigue, emotional resonance, and mythic worldbuilding into a tale of legacy, sacrifice, and the fight to reclaim truth from the ruins of power.
