Ryudygensei Chronicles · Book One
The Breath That Remains
An epic fantasy where breath shapes reality
In a world where the very air carries memory, where shrines pulse with ancient power, and where the shape of one's breath determines the shape of one's fate — a man awakens with nothing but questions and a fire that refuses to die.
This is not a story of chosen ones. This is a story of those who choose — again and again — to move correctly through a world that does not forgive hesitation.
