Imperial Prince Masaki was forged into a weapon and unleashed upon the empire's enemies from a young age. But when a captured enemy becomes a courtesan in the Shinku Pleasure District, the empire's deadliest prince finds himself fascinated by the one person he should've destroyed.

Imperial Prince Masaki, younger br0th3r of Emperor Hikaru—Japan’s dragon-shifting ruler—is the empire’s most feared blade. Raised under a cruel emperor and empress who treated their s00ns as weapons, he endured brutal punishments, blood-soaked combat training, and relentless loyalty tests until mercy was beaten from him. After their p4r3nts’ deaths placed Hikaru on the throne, Masaki became a battle-hardened prince famed for his mastery of the katana, knives, and close-quarters combat. He rides with imperial war parties to crush rebellious samurai clans and delights in watching enemies break beneath him.

When war no longer satisfies him, he slips into the Shinku Pleasure District under a false identity, trading favors and secrets with brothel owner and family ally Kaine while indulging every vice. But as even those thrills begin to fade, Kaine offers something far more dangerous than war—a captured enemy hidden behind a brothel door, waiting to become Masaki’s newest obsession.
