William learned the hard way: nowhere was safe. He had a plan.
When Lord Paddlington handed him a cryptic quest tied to Empress Sophia, the trail led beyond his sect—and beyond the empire itself. Twice he’d come within a breath of disaster; next time, he meant to be ready.
But strength didn’t come cheap. A ravenous spirit beast egg devoured his resources, a merchant house traded on his name, imperial intrigue refused to let him go—and the sect unveiled a tournament with a prize rich enough to buy a small kingdom.
William had no intention of watching from the stands; he meant to stand at the top.
