Now, she’s got ancient magic stirring, shadowy figures lurking, and a destiny she’s really hoping is optional. (Spoiler: It’s not.)

Dominic Kang wakes up to warmth. Soft breathing. The scent of someone unfamiliar. His body tenses. There’s a man in his bed. Not just any man. A stranger.

Dominic built his empire on control. No one gets close to him unless he allows it. His security is airtight. His enemies don’t get past his front door. Yet Xavier Jang did. And the worst part?

Should demand answers, make an example out of him. But he doesn’t. Because Xavier Jang isn’t just some lost soul who wandered into the lion’s den. Recardo Kim wants him back. Hyejin Seo wants him dead. And Dominic? He wants to keep him. Even though he knows—Xavier is a problem. A weakness. A mistake waiting to happen. But it’s already too late.

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.
