Standalone *historial fantasy

In this novel, you will find:

DARK adult fantasy, magic, immortality, training & sword fights, Dual POV, MM & FM romance, spice - there is NOT a HEA (happily ever after)

*This novel is a work of fiction. It is loosely based on a historical time period and is in no way meant to be historically accurate. Except for the talking sword. That part is totally real.

***This book does NOT have a happy ending. It also has a lot of murder, death, and suicide including death of a teenager & spouse (not on page), as well as arranged marriage to a minor (no sexual scenes with said minor), and mention of semi-infidelity where the partner knows what’s going on.

There are explicit sex scenes. Both male/male and male/female

To be human is to hope … especially when you know you shouldn’t

The price for his revenge?

A curse.

The Yokai’s magic exiled him, trapping him in an enchanted forest to suffer immortality alone.

The weight of his solitude increased and his bitterness grew as he realized the only people searching for him weren’t coming to help. They only wanted to take Guardian from him—a sword forged and imbued with magic.

So, when a little girl showed up in his forest, he feared she was a pawn sent to coax the magic katana from his possession. But she wasn’t there for Guardian, and for the first time, he allowed himself to hope. 

He should have known better.
