Yoshi

Duty made him. Love will break him.

Yoshi is the heir to a powerful Han, raised to embody honor and duty above all else—even at the cost of his own heart. He knows exactly who he’s supposed to be. He has never questioned it.

Then there’s Kaneko—sharp-tongued, fearless, and everything Yoshi isn’t allowed to want. What began as a safe, necessary friendship has slowly become something far more dangerous.

Something Yoshi can no longer pretend he doesn’t feel.

When an imperial envoy arrives carrying the emperor’s banner and the weight of ancient, divine magic, Yoshi is drawn into a web of court intrigue and simmering rebellion. The envoy’s intentions are far darker than diplomacy—and the upheaval he brings forces Yoshi and Kaneko closer together, even as every choice Yoshi makes puts them both at risk.

Yoshi, book one of The Land of Jade & Fire, is a slow-burn MM romantic fantasy where forbidden love and unbreakable bonds collide with royalty, ancient gods, and impossible choices set against an epic, Japanese-inspired fantasy world.

For readers who crave romance that hurts, loyalty that endures, and love tested until it can no longer survive silence.
