Bakheit Omaha: The Prince Who Wanted to Escape Karma, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Prince Asher Bennett has spent his entire life believing that his family is cursed. Haunted by stories of ancestral failures, strange omens, and a mysterious "Bennett Curse," Asher becomes convinced that every misfortune surrounding him is the result of karma. When his kingdom begins suffering from floods, political instability, and military losses, he abandons his responsibilities and journeys into the High Crags seeking a spiritual cleansing from the monk Jasper Kingsley. But Jasper offers him no mystical ritual. Instead, the disgraced prince is given buckets, tools, and exhausting manual work. Asher initially sees every failure as proof that his blood is poisoned by ancestral karma. Yet the monk's silence gradually forces him to confront an uncomfortable possibility: perhaps there is no supernatural curse at all. Perhaps the disasters he blames on fate are consequences of his own choices and negligence. The turning point comes when Asher learns that men have suffered and died because he failed to act as king. Faced with the physical consequences of his decisions, he can no longer hide behind astrology, destiny, or divine punishment. He finally admits to Knox that he failed not because he was cursed, but because fear made him a coward who looked to the stars instead of confronting the facts before him. Asher eventually understands that escaping karma was never the answer. The "Crowned Shadow" he feared was simply the shape created by his own avoidance. His brother Victor has kept the kingdom functioning through practical leadership, while Asher's obsession with spiritual explanations allowed real problems to worsen. Accepting this truth becomes his greatest act of transformation. In the resolution, Asher returns to his responsibilities with a completely different understanding of kingship. He no longer seeks cleansing, omens, or supernatural permission. He accepts that his true burden is accountability: rebuilding the kingdom, helping those who suffered, and earning back trust through years of work. He realizes that he does not need to be the center of a cosmic tragedy-he simply needs to become useful. The Prince Who Wanted to Escape Karma is a thoughtful character-driven fantasy about responsibility, self-deception, guilt, and redemption. Rather than defeating a supernatural curse, Asher must defeat the belief that fate is responsible for his failures. His journey ultimately reveals that true liberation comes not from escaping consequences, but from accepting them and choosing to make things right.
