Nakama Press Announces The Architect’s Epiphany!

What if the key to restoring a shattered civilization lay in the hands of those who hid in the shadows as it fell?

Nakama Press, the newest imprint from Mad Cave Studios, proudly presents The Architect’s Epiphany—an awe-inspiring fantasy epic from the creative duo of writer Chi-Ho Kwong and artist Chi-Kit Kwong.

A fragile peace between two kingdoms, undone by betrayal. The sinister Zhehe people twisted the minds of Aye-Shan City’s nobles, corrupting their hearts and thereby weakening the Guardian Beast—the city’s last line of defense. When the Zhehe finally invaded, the Guardian vanished, and Aye-Shan crumbled. Now, its last shaman, Ling Tiber, must embark on an impossible journey to rebuild what was lost.

Blending masterful storytelling with breathtaking visual artistry, Chi-Ho Kwong weaves a tale of redemption, perseverance, and the unyielding pursuit of hope. Chi-Kit Kwong brings this world to life with his stunning, intricate illustrations, painting a realm teeming with mystical creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes.
