To save the Emperor, Lee Han sells himself to the Empire’s deadliest enemy.
After dying in a failed rebellion, Lee Han regresses to the past with one goal: keep the Emperor alive. His only chance is striking a dangerous bargain with the Empire’s strongest enemy general—the enigmatic Jeok (Red).
But the closer Lee Han gets to him, the more unsettling the truth becomes. Jeok isn’t just a fearsome warrior… he may not even be human.
“Who are you? A man? A beast? Or something else entirely?”
As rebellion looms and secrets unravel, Lee Han must uncover Jeok’s true identity before time runs out.
