“The only way to truly overcome death is to nourish life.” —The Master
In a kingdom on the edge of collapse, one young man’s escape becomes the spark that could either redeem a nation—or destroy it.
Born into luxury but haunted by its lies, Simault abandons everything to seek truth in the mountains, where legend speaks of a Master who sees beyond illusion. Hidden within the icy walls of the Temple of Clear Seeing, he finds a world unlike any he monks who speak in riddles and move like ghosts, warriors bound by silence, and a discipline so raw it shatters the soul before it sets it free.
But peace does not last.
When Simault discovers a long-buried relic with the power to reshape the future—and falls for someone he was never meant to love—he’s thrust into a high-stakes collision with a tyrant king determined to erase all who stand in his way.
Sweeping, lyrical, and charged with slow-burning tension, Simault and the Master is a genre-defying epic of exile and awakening, where loyalty is tested, desire is dangerous, and one quiet boy may hold the key to everything.
