In The Maharajagar, no enemy is more haunting than the King in Yellow—a dream-born sovereign of Carcosa whose touch corrodes both reality and memory. His return is heralded through the machinations of Long Feng, a cunning and charismatic antagonist who masks ancient hunger behind political power.
The King in Yellow is not a mere villain; he is entropy given form. His realm, Carcosa, is a city that overlaps the world like a ghost, feeding on chaos and despair. As the Qi’tet move through the Labyrinth and the Void, they encounter fragments of his reality—places where time loops, memories vanish, and even hope feels alien.
But the King is more than an otherworldly threat. He is a karmic reckoning. His arrival signals the unbalancing of cosmic order, forcing our heroes to face debts from lifetimes they barely remember. Through Lovecraftian horror, ancient myth, and geopolitical intrigue, The Maharajagar reframes the King in Yellow as both an invader and a mirror—showing humanity what it becomes when dreams rot.

    1. The main antagonist became the King in Yellow after he came into the possession of a chaos attractor called the Cintamani, but in the end, it was the Cintamani who possessed him. Much of the layout of the Labyrinth Dimension is styled upon the Lovecraft Universe, adapted to the needs of the narrative. You can download an ARC from Bookfunnel if you feel like reviewing the whole saga (you can find the link on my main page).

      1. I am not on amazon or devilreads, so not sure if I should download it.
        My other question is, is this a standalone novel or the beginning of a series? If a series, how many volumes do you expect it to be?
        Thanks for replying!

      2. It’s a standalone that compiles five books (or parts) into one volume of 583 pages. I’ve decided to keep writing till the whole saga was finished and the publish it all at once. And as far I’m concerned with bookfunnel: their registration form is dead simple. They just require your email address and you can download whatever ARC at no cost or credit card information required. It’s not related to any of the services you’ve mentioned.

      3. Thanks for clarifying. I asked about amazon and devilreads because it said it was expected that people dl’ing would leave a review there. Since that isn’t the case, that answers that.
        Cheers!
