Description
The king of Yusan must die.
The land of Yusan lies divided under the iron grip of the immortal God King Joon. While the nobles bask in opulence and privilege, the common folk suffer under his ruthless rule, facing imprisonment, ruin, or even the bleak fate of being sold. Desperation echoes through the streets, a cry for justice left unanswered for far too long—until now.
In Five Broken Blades, the most dangerous liars in the kingdom are summoned, bound by an uncertain alliance and a singular goal: to assassinate the God King. Among them is a hired hitman seeking redemption, a beautiful assassin longing for her freedom, and a fallen prince exiled for his own cruelty. Each of these blades is sharpened by their own flavour of bitterness and driven by a unique thirst for vengeance.
While united by a common enemy and a shared craving for vengeance, trust remains a fleeting luxury. These formidable killers must navigate a precarious path, laden with treachery and deception. Agreement on murder is easy; however, forging an alliance amid a web of lies and betrayal proves far more challenging.
In their pursuit of justice, they must find a way to cooperate, even as the allure of power and the crown dangle temptingly before them. Will they manage to reconcile their differences and work together, or will their duplicity lead them to ruin?
Let the best liar win.
