Yoshi, the son of the Daimyo of Anzu Han, has always struggled to find his place. With the weight of his family’s legacy on his shoulders, he trains tirelessly with his best friend, Kaneko—whose sharp wit and undeniable charm stir emotions Yoshi doesn’t fully understand.
But when an unexpected storm brings an Imperial ship bearing a golden banner to their shores, Yoshi’s world is upended.
The Emperor's arrival is more than a mere visit. Whispers of rebellion stir in the shadows, ancient forces awaken, and the gods themselves seem restless.
Thrust into the heart of political intrigue and a brewing war, Yoshi must confront his own insecurities and navigate the treacherous waters of courtly deception.
Amid the chaos, his bond with Kaneko deepens into something far more than friendship—a connection that might cost them everything.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.I seem to be in the minority, but I didn't not like this book at all. It had everything I liked, gay romance, epic fantasy, and a hint of Japanese mythology. I rven thought it ws a good balance of romance and fantasy (which is to say a lot more fantasy than romance)... but it just didn't work out. I didn't like any of the characters, the story wasn't entertaining, and there was nothing intruiging enough to keep me reading. If I hadn't read this as an ARC, I would have dropped it pretty early on. It had all the incredibly tedious parts of the romantasy genre, just with two men instead of a man and a woman. I didn't find anything to be unique or to hold my attention. And the end of this book, and the third POV was so incredibly icky that I couldn't care about what else was happening.
