One in a Million Starr

The past is a crime. In 1878, the Velhozen region is a graveyard of secrets. Five years after a brutal coalition war, the Empire that once ruled is gone—not just from the throne, but from the minds of the people. Through state-enforced silence and the rewriting of history, the world has been taught to forget. Sterra Londe is the memory the world tried to kill. A twenty-year-old wanderer with bone-white hair and a shadow that bleeds into a lethal specter, Sterra doesn't seek followers—he seeks the truth hidden in wax-sealed envelopes and stolen relics. But in a land where the law is a snake eating a crown, and the "Republicans" in the shadows are more than human, his very existence is an act of war. Across a decade of blood and iron, Sterra must navigate a landscape of fractured time and rising divinity. He will find a family among the forgotten, but he must learn the hardest lesson of power: It is easier to be a God than it is to be a man.
