Empire of the Lotus
7 primary works
Book 1
Upon the one hundredth reincarnation of the Lotus empress, the dark god Kashmeru would send out his shadow army—Pishacha—to destroy the reborn empress, which in turn would bring about the collapse of the universe.
The world changed at the time of the Eradication. The New Asian Administration outlawed mages, forbidding any use of their powers. To protect her imprisoned family, Mayhara Guatama made a deal to surrender her mage status and pledge her life to the New Order.
Years have passed, the chaos from the upheaval long since settled. Or so Mayhara believed... until she receives a mysterious message pleading for her help.
Stunned by the claim that the empress has been reincarnated, Mayhara must choose between fealty to the Lotus empire, or honoring the decree that assures her family's safety.
Book 2
Arcane daggers. Mysterious Scrolls. A vengeful dark god determined to end the world.
The soldiers of the shadow army are on the rise. The ancient deity Kashmeru has the Lotus empress under his control. It's up to the elite mages of the Empire of the Lotus to put an end to the dark god's course of death and destruction.
But mage powers have been outlawed, and not all mages are free. As Mayhara evades the Imperial Police on her quest to gather the elite mages, Shiro must do what is necessary to escape the prison camp he's been trapped in for years.
The collapse of the universe is at hand, and the pieces of the puzzle must be put together before it's too late.
Book 3
Haunted by evil. Bound by prophecy. Driven by faith.
Consumed by his doomed love for the empress Lakshmi, Kashmeru will stop at nothing to break the spell that has kept him locked in a hidden tomb. With the comet Akutake fast approaching, the clock is ticking for the elite mages to gather and fight Kashmeru's shadow army and the mysterious and powerful dark mages.
As Mayhara, Jae, and Shiro race to acquire the arcane daggers before they fall into the wrong hands, Huojin and Salina must face their destinies as golden mages and learn to harness their power to destroy the enemy--before the enemy destroys them first.
Book 4
A foreboding prophecy. A lost empress. And a battle to determine the fate of the world.
In the arduous war against the dark god Kashmeru, the elite mages have managed to track down half of the magical daggers. But the enemy isn't far behind.
Leading the shadow army, the dark mages have won battles of their own, and the Lotus empress is still under Kashmeru's control. But mysteries are unraveling that could help the elite mages gain an advantage--if they can survive long enough to fulfill their legacies.
Book 5
In the battle to save the world, things have taken a fatal turn.
The elite mages have succeeded in getting ahead of Kashmeru's shadow army, but now the power has shifted, and the good guys have taken a hit. It's up to Jae and the rest of the crew to outwit the Pishacha and take back what they've lost.
Loyalties are tested and resilience pushed to the limits, as the war continues between the divine and evil.
Book 6
As the Akutake comet nears, the disruption of magic has come at the most inopportune time.
The sanctuary of the mages has been compromised. Not only is their safety at risk, but the location of the arcane daggers is a heartbeat away from being discovered by the Pishacha.
With the war’s showdown on the horizon, the elite mages are grasping at straws in their attempt to stop the enemy from unleashing their evil god and his plan to end the world.
Book 7
Everything has changed. And it could mean the end of the world.
The comet has arrived. The elite mages, once primed to hold their ground, now find themselves in a panic. They've been separated, and the upper hand they once called their own has been stolen from right under their noses.
The Pishacha are ready to release Kashmeru from his tomb, to destroy the Lotus empress, and follow their dark god into the new era. To stop them, the elite mages must give up the very thing they've been fighting for—and hope it's enough to win the war.
