He was supposed to be dead. Instead, Mek walks back into Ayutthaya with a debt of blood to collect—and a killer to find, hiding behind the banner of a faction too powerful to touch.
At the heart of his hunt lies the Diamond-Thread Glass Amulet—an artefact rumoured to conceal a secret so great that martial artists across the land would kill to possess it. Aside from it, there stands the Deadly White Powder, a poison the enemy wields not merely to kill but to enslave. Woven through the present-day rivalry between the Brahma Pavilion and the Freedom Manor is the road that made Mek who he is—a peninsula crushed under Japanese oppression, a Cambodian royal court torn apart by succession strife—real turmoil of the era that shaped the man now caught between two warring sects.
Every ally has a price. Every favour comes with a debt attached. And the deeper Mek digs, the less certain he becomes of who the real enemy is.
A martial arts thriller of vengeance, history, and the cost of becoming a legend—Smoking Hero Volume 1 sets the board for a war that will consume more than just Ayutthaya.
