Arthur Arcadia is the unwanted son of a mafia heir, surviving brutal school bullying and underground fights to pay for his dying mother's treatment. When the father who abandoned him suddenly returns, Arthur discovers the truth: he is only being used for a suicide mission—to infiltrate a deadly underground casino and steal a ledger capable of destroying the criminal empire. There, he meets Chloe Falcone, the godfather's equally unwanted daughter. Together, two family outcasts fight their way through drug lords, betrayal, and bloodshed. Once treated as disposable pawns, they become the greatest threat to both families—and Arthur rises from forgotten bastard to the man who owns the empire.

After three years of bloody battles in the Northern Territory, General Theo Howard vanquishes enemy chieftains and secures the borders, only to witness his loved ones being tormented in his hometown—his sister bullied by a wealthy scoundrel, his mother kneeling in court pleading injustice only to be beaten with rods! Government offices collude with the powerful who run rampant, even martyr pensions are swallowed by corruption... Theo removes his battle robe and unsheathes his cold blade: “This kingdom, I will protect; this human world, I will set right!” From the countryside to the imperial court, from slaying tyrants to protecting the monarch, a storm of blood and violence sweeps through.
