Darkness and Other Colours

A novel of fate, roots, and ruin. In a land ruled by prophecy and built on the brittle bones of legacy, Lord Hitoshi seizes the North Castle by blood and silence, guided by the cryptic words of a forest spirit named Bao:"You will not be defeated. unless the forest moves."But prophecy is a knife that turns in the hand. As Hitoshi's power deepens, so does his paranoia. The once proud fortress of Muzukashi begins to rot from within walls bend, roots creep, and his wife Yumi drifts into a strange and eerie grace, touched by something no longer human.
Far from the throne, a boy named Hato son of a betrayed general walks the woods with ghosts. The forest remembers. And it has already chosen. Part dark folktale, part political tragedy, and part lyrical horror, The Green Throne is a slow burning descent into the collapse of power, the haunting of memory, and the terrible cost of misreading destiny. The forest does not take sides. It only grows.
