Mister Nakagami

Change will come from within

Political Thriller | Novel | 200 Pages

Haru Nakagami has dedicated his life to civil service. All the while his existence is illegal in Hyukai, he has little choice. His determination is unmatched, though once he’s talent spotted he gets saddled with all of Hyukai’s human rights.

Soon he sees what a state the continent is truly in, and he resolves to improve human rights internationally. With him being the only specialist to turn to, thousands of lives on the line and an inability to ignore people in need, decades fly by. Finding the time to do what he really wants is impossible.

But Haru will do anything to see his dream become reality and make political history. Threaten his sister, tamper with the law, hire a war hero, team up with his sworn enemy, anything. He knows his neck will eventually be on the line and he accepts it.

His task is bigger than the brooding war hero he’s falling for.

Black Executioner

Ai’s tried everything to keep his promise. Except treason

Thriller | Novel | 165 Pages

Ai Nagashima has had enough. A demotion has struck down his chances of having the powers that be listening to his pleas for human rights reform, so a treasonous public campaign to turn heads and hearts is his only option.

When the finger points to him for an unrelated incident, he takes the same lethal plunge as countless veterans before him. He knows working to oust the corrupt mayor, running his campaign, being a single father and vomiting blood isn’t sustainable. Every day brings a crisis, and execution looms.

But Ai will do anything to stop Hyukai’s self destructive spiral. Frame an innocent man, steal from the archives, set the capital alight, banish his allies underground, anything. He tells himself it’s not about his lonely best friend.

He knows it’s his turn to make the ultimate sacrifice.
