Short blurb for the interested:
Born to a Roman house and forged in exile, Sikandar walks the halls of Luoyang as a political hostage. He plays the foreign prince with practiced grace and waits for the moment when survival becomes something more.

Looking for: Feedback on prose, character voice, immersion, pacing, world building, would you read further, basically anything. Thank you in advance!

Chapter 1 — The Tiger in the Crane’s Robe

Here is the Prologue that I posted before if you want to read it. It's not necessary though, and I still plan on fixing it up, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Thank you to all the critiques on my last post!
