THE GILDED PATH
On Earth, Peter is a financial wizard, the accountant that could make your monetary missteps disappear in a sea of numbers, but he’s trapped in a thankless job… until the day he’s shot dead in his apartment…
Only to wake up in a body that isn’t his and a world he doesn’t know. Part of the hated Gold clan, Peter is now a servant in a land of cultivating martial artists, strange fantastical races, and warring clans. And while he might start at the bottom, the Gold clan gains their power through the accumulation of wealth… and making money is what Peter does best.
All he has to do is manipulate the clan he serves to gain fiscal power, uncover the truth behind the stigma against his new family, cultivate the power to fight those who want him dead, and do it all without revealing his true goals to the rest of the world, every step taking him down the Gilded Path.
THE GILDED PATH II
Through financial smarts, the internal power gained from cultivating wealth, and a heaping of raw cunning, Peter has found his way from lowly Gold clan slave to master of the Bo clan’s fiscal empire and a beautiful collection of lovers and wives. But his true purpose in this strange realm of magic and martial arts remains unknown.
Until now…
As the tendrils of darkness begin to strangle the country, Peter will find out the truth. And to survive the dangers ahead, he will need to spread his golden touch and breakthrough to the next level of cultivation, all the while weaving through the deadly minefield of Imperial politics and the constant threat of death from all sides.
No pressure.
