Peace was never an option. Justice had to be taken.
Katsumi Ren was supposed to be a hero. A Paladin of Shinko-Ken, sworn to protect the innocent. But in a nation ruled by three divine families who view citizens as cattle, heroism is a liability. Sidelined, disgraced, and demoted to the lowest tier, Ren kept her head down, until she found Theon.
When the orphan boy under her care manifests a terrifying power, Ren is forced back into the spotlight. But what she finds in the shadows of the capital isn't just corruption.
Pushed to the brink, Ren makes a choice to break the system.
Facing down the nation’s strongest enforcers, navigating a political minefield, and raising the child of the nations number one traitor, Ren begins a violent, legal, and absolute ascent to the highest rank of all.
She is no longer a Paladin. She is the Warlord. And her first decree is simple: The immunity of the gods is over.
