Description
In the lawless realm of Alanora—where society is split between those who work and those who play—justice is bought through the guilds of assassins. Isaac, known as the Black Emperor, is the most feared of them all, wielding a rare ability to stop time and turning every contract into a near-certain victory. But after a seemingly routine job, he encounters a threat that forces him to confront the limits of his power and the emptiness of a life spent chasing control. As old allies and overlooked people rise to meet a new kind of enemy, Isaac must decide who he is beyond his reputation—and whether disinterest can be as dangerous as any blade. Blending high-stakes action with themes of identity, ambition, and the cost of getting what you want, this fast-moving tale delivers a sharp, character-driven edge in Christian Cahill-Notaras’s distinctive, momentum-forward style.
