In the world of Lotus Zanji, every kingdom remembers peace differently.
Zuri, the daughter of Shogun Ebrahim, is sent with her trusted protégé Takaura to reclaim a sacred shrine occupied by rogue tengu warriors. What begins as a mission of duty soon reveals a far deeper deception. The shrine's occupation, the missing dragon egg, and the uneasy demands of the tengu are all connected to Fahd, a rival shogun whose patience has finally run out.
Fahd has stolen more than a dragon's future. He has turned Lire, a newly hatched white dragon, into a symbol of power and fear. With Lire at his side, Fahd moves against Ebrahim's kingdom while forcing the tengu warriors, Ebrahim's clan, and even old allies into impossible choices.
As Zuri, Takaura, and the tengu scout Koki uncover the truth, they realize the quest was never meant to succeed. It was a delay. A distraction. A trap.
Now Ebrahim must decide whether to surrender to Fahd's ultimatum or risk everything to protect his kingdom. Meanwhile, Zuri and Takaura begin planning a desperate strategy that could change the course of the coming war.
Lotus Zanji: Fahd's Deception Book 1 - Fake Dragon Egg Quest begins a fantasy saga of dragons, tengu warriors, divided kingdoms, loyalty, deception, and the cost of survival.
