Synopsis
On the road east of fallen Babylon, a nameless wanderer carries hunger, guilt, and a silence he refuses to explain.
When three mysterious warriors place an ancient dagger in his hand, they tell him it is a key, a debt, and a mercy. Beyond the ruined roads lies Cathay, a place whispered about in famine houses, war camps, and dying prayers. Some say peace waits there. Some say hope. Some say a garden.
But Cathay is no simple refuge.
Beneath its roots lies the Casket of First Sorrows, where seven crowned hungers were sealed away in the first age of men. Pride has taken cities. Greed has taken brothers. Wrath has taught the dead to ride. And now, as the roads awaken, every hunger the world tried to bury has begun finding its way back into the living.
Wren does not want to be chosen. Mara does not want another burden. Her children only want bread, water, and one more morning. Yet together they are drawn east through a brutal mythic landscape where bread becomes a test, water becomes a throne, the dead wear beloved faces, and mercy is never as clean as anyone hopes.
Dark, lyrical, and deeply human, Dagger of Cathay: The Garden of Unused Dreams is the first book in The Seven Roads, an epic fantasy about guilt, survival, memory, grief, and the dangerous labor of hope. It asks what people owe after ruin, what love must never claim, and whether hope can be freed without becoming another chain.
For readers who love mythic fantasy with emotional depth, haunted roads, ancient bargains, morally wounded characters, and prose that feels carved from grief and fire, this journey begins where all true roads begin:
with someone hungry, someone guilty, and someone still willing to walk.
