Five Broken Blades: Five Broken Blades, Book 1
Five skilled liars, each driven by personal vengeance against the tyrannical god king Joon, form an unlikely alliance to assassinate him, navigating treachery and deception in a deadly competition for the crown. In a world where trust is a luxury, these killers must confront their own betrayals and forge a fragile bond, knowing only one can emerge victorious in this high-stakes game of lies and power.
Description
The season of treason descends upon Yusan, demanding the king’s blood. A mysterious summons compels the land’s five most dangerous liars to unite, their collective purpose: to assassinate the god king Joon. Joon’s merciless immortal reign breeds injustice; he elevates the nobles while he imprisons, ruins, and sells the innocent and the poor. Now, these five blades, each bearing the scars of Joon’s cruelty, seek retribution.
A hired hit man, burdened by guilt, yearns for atonement. A lovely assassin, bound by servitude, craves freedom. Even a prince, banished for his own dark deeds, cannot resist the allure of vengeance. The bitter taste of injustice binds them, fueling their desire for the king’s downfall. They readily agree to murder, they readily agree to treachery.
However, these five killers, masters of deception, lies, and betrayal, face a formidable challenge: forging an alliance. They must learn to trust each other, a feat nearly impossible given their inherent natures. Only one can ascend to the throne, only one can claim the crown. They embark on a deadly game, where cunning and deceit reign supreme.
Each character drives the narrative forward with their unique motivations and hidden agendas. The hitman seeks to redeem himself, the assassin yearns to break free from her chains, and the banished prince aims to reclaim his lost power. They must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and personal vendettas, where every word and action carries weight.
The story pushes the characters towards inevitable conflict. They must outwit and outmaneuver each other, all while confronting their own inner demons. The narrative emphasizes the characters’ individual strengths and weaknesses, showcasing how their past experiences shape their present actions. The audience becomes deeply invested in the characters’ struggles as they battle against the king and each other.
Donald Chang, Greg Chun, Zion Jang, Sophie Oda, Jaine Ye, and Roger Yeh bring these complex characters to life through their compelling narration, adding layers of depth and emotion to the story. They deliver the tale, and drive forward the plot, with unique and compelling voices. The narration amplifies the tension and suspense, drawing the listener into the heart of Yusan’s treacherous court. Let the best liar win, and let the audience witness the battle for the crown.
