The Kings Beast (Vol.15) - Rei Toma

The King’s Beast (Volume 15) by Rei Toma, published by Viz Media, continues the intense fantasy romance series set in the same richly imagined world as Dawn of the Arcana. Blending political intrigue, forbidden love, and vengeance, this volume raises the emotional and moral stakes to new heights.

Ajin boys with special abilities are forced into servitude within the imperial palace, treated as expendable tools for royal ambition. Rangetsu’s life was forever changed when her twin brother Sogetsu was taken from her and sent to serve Prince Tenyou—only to be consumed by the palace’s brutal power struggles. Disguising herself as a man, Rangetsu infiltrated the palace, determined to uncover the truth and avenge her brother.

As war looms, a chilling letter arrives at the imperial palace from a potential ally. It predicts that Prince Kougai will die in battle. Alarmed by the prophecy, Prince Tenyou and the emperor attempt to alter fate itself. Yet the letter reveals a cruel condition: the only way for Prince Kougai to survive is for someone else to die in his place. Faced with an impossible choice, the royal family must confront the true cost of power, loyalty, and survival.
