Origins of The Emperor

In a world ruled by nobility with absolute power, the people find themselves in their service. But the nobles are not without threat, for they too fear the rise of another emperor. Five hundred years ago, the five brave houses rose against the seventh Emperor of Destruction and sealed his power away, returning peace to the world. Thereafter, they’ve killed every imperial vessel born before they could mature and rise as the next Emperor. A vessel born amidst this era of persecution will find themselves at the mercy of merciless nobles. They may try to hide and flee, but the Vessel Decree has spelled their doom. Who will rise as emperor? Who will inherit the primordial power awaiting them on the Imperial Throne? None, say the Dukes. But will their conviction hold true, no matter what? That remains to be seen… Cover Art created by @artisdamori (on Instagram) — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Origins of The Emperor — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
