This novel is born from the shadows of history?where empires rise and crumble, where fortunes are forged in blood and ambition, and where the lust for power echoes across centuries. At its heart lies a treasure lost to time: the fabled gold of a long-deposed emperor, said to carry not only unimaginable wealth but the weight of a nation's soul. But as the characters in this story soon discover, some legacies are not meant to be reclaimed.
