The Serpent's Whispers: The Crimson Vengeance Trilogy Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798292808251)

A Prince in Mourning. A Demon in the Shadows. A Kingdom on the Brink.

In a world where honor is a mask, grief is a weapon, and shadows hide deadly secrets, The Serpent's Whispers launches the Crimson Vengeance Trilogy with a gripping tale of betrayal, forbidden magic, and supernatural revenge.

When Prince Kenjiro's father-the noble daimyo of House Hoshino-dies under suspicious circumstances, the young heir is crushed by grief. But when his uncle Kageyama marries Kenjiro's mother just days after the funeral, suspicion replaces sorrow. Ancient traditions crumble, and a darker evil begins to stir.

Rumors of a demon-Akuma-no-Kami-haunt the palace, while the restless spirit of Kenjiro's father returns with a single word: vengeance. Guided by spectral visions and shadows of hidden truths, Kenjiro must feign madness to navigate a treacherous world of dark sorcery, political ambition, and deadly conspiracies. Every revelation brings him closer to a secret that could unravel the very fabric of his kingdom.
