Echoes of the Hollow Throne

In a world where your bloodline determines your worth and the empire's ledger decides whether you exist, one man is building a nation for everyone the system forgot to count.

Ren Tsukishiro woke up in this world as a child with no memory of who he used to be — only the habits of a civil servant from a life he can't quite remember, and the absolute certainty that the girl glued to his side is the most important person in it. What he doesn't know yet is that he was never just a civil servant. That the girl was never just his sister. And that the seal keeping both of those truths buried is already cracking.

Echoes of the Hollow Throne is a story about what it costs to build something real  politically, physically, and personally. It has nation-building ambition, emotional brutality, high scale action scene, found-family warmth, and at its center, a slow-burn romance between two people who loved each other in a previous life, were separated by forces older than either of them, and are spending this one figuring out what that's worth.

The ledger is open. The nation is growing. And something sealed at the edge of the world is beginning to remember its name.
