Emperor of Mu: Book 1: Saga of the Six Realms

An emperor is murdered.
Six realms edge toward war.
And something ancient awakens beyond the borders of men.

When Emperor Constantine of Mu is killed by an ingeniously crafted death trap, his final warning dies with him:

“There is an evil in Mu that has dwelt among us for centuries...”

Now the throne stands empty.

Noble houses scheme for succession. Assassins move in shadow. Old alliances fracture. Salvarre, the grieving High Chancellor, is left guarding a secret he barely understands, while Prince Justan, the emperor’s son, must summon the outer realms before Mu collapses into civil war.

But the danger reaches far beyond the palace.

A young dreamer is haunted by impossible visions. A Dark Elf Beast Mistress moves within an older prophecy. And Prince Peter, lost in the wilds, falls prey to the serpent-kind—awakening transformed into something no longer wholly human.

As ancient races stir, forbidden desires ignite, and hidden powers move unseen, humanity faces a grim choice: break the destructive cycles of the past, or watch civilisation sink into a fourth age of darkness.

To claim the throne may save the realms.
Or doom them all.

Emperor of Mu begins the complete eight-book Saga of the Six Realms by Jason Beveridge—an epic fantasy of political intrigue, ancient magic, forbidden romance, dark transformation, vast worldbuilding and old powers returning from the edge of myth.

The complete eight-book Saga concludes with The Last Chime on September 21, 2026, taking readers from the first murder to the Battle for Forever.
