Description
Doomed to die at the hand of a hidden foe, the Emperor prepares to meet his fate
On the eve of war, Emperor Constantine discovers a hidden foe; one that has manipulated from behind the scenes for centuries. In secrecy, the emperor dispatches a letter to the Sorceress of the Powers, but the news arrives too late. Constantine is murdered, and Mu is thrown into turmoil as the rulers of the six realms decide who is to become the next emperor.
While Mu elects a successor, the outland races stir. The hunt for those with forbidden dark elf blood threatens another Elvic War. To the north, rumours spread of dragons returning after a three hundred cycle absence. In the desert lands, the fearless Imanishi defend the empire from the night demons, while South of Mu, the sea invaders consolidate their rule.
This epic drama with its rivalry, romances, and battles between race and kind alike, keeps you guessing with its twists and turns. Set in the medieval world of Mu, where the powers of the mind and mind-magic set apart the extraordinary, this series explores the boundaries of man’s humanity.
If you like a fast-moving epic with mystery and intrigue set on a big stage, then pick up this page-turner today.
Advance Praise
"I immensely enjoyed the complexity of Emperor of Mu, because I love epic, complex and immersive fantasy novels. I'm happy to say that this novel is one of the best and most complex independently published fantasy novels I've ever had the pleasure of reading (it outshines many other fantasy novels in terms of complexity and worldbuilding)."
"One of the best things about Emperor of Mu is that it's a surprisingly fast-paced fantasy novel. The author takes his time to set things up, which is good, but he does it with style and doesn't let the story become muddled with meaningless events and keeps things in motion (although the pacing is delightfully swift, nothing feels rushed in this novel)." Two quotes from a review on Risingshadow website: https://www.risingshadow.net/articles/reviews/893-review-emperor-of-mu-by-jason-beveridge.
"Fantasy Epic to rival Brandon Sanderson. The world building and character building in this story was superb. I would compare this authors worldbuilding to the likes of Brandon Sanderson. I truly enjoyed this story, the intrigue, and the realism really drew me into the story and kept me turning pages. The plot was unique, and the story pace was even throughout which is important in such a long story. A long fantasy epic that is certainly worth your time and attention."

A very talented author. This is long, but engaging with well-crafted characters, and very good, unique plot. I look for good dialog, and that is included here along with a fast pace and some mystery. Highly recommended for epic fantasy fans.
I really appreciate the copy from NetGalley for review!

Emperor of Mu by Jason Beveridge, an interesting read. The emperor is assassinated and must needs be replaced by the assembly. A mysterious enemy lurks in the shows and none know what the future holds. Enemies must become allies and allies become enemies.
Stephen W, Reviewer
I wont go into detail about the story as i dont want to spoil the book, i see so many reviews that give 80% of the story away and it spoils it for the reader in my opinion. I loved this book, I enjoyed the story and i felt connected with the characters. The story was a real page Turner and infact my other half kept needing to tell me to put it down and go to sleep, I was gripped. Pleaseantly surprised and brilliantly written, a must read for sure.

What can I say.
The world was so full of depth that you felt you were there.
The characters were mixed and the story kept me on the edge of my seat.
If you want a long read then this could be the book for you.
