Description

'You must betray or be betrayed. That is the way of the world, daegam.'

A devastating and pulse-pounding historical romance that will feel all-too-relevant in today's world, based on a true story from Korean history || An INSTANT New York Times Bestseller

Hope is dangerous. Love is deadly.

1506, Joseon. The people suffer under the tyrant King Yeonsan, powerless to stop his cruel reign.

Seventeen-year-old Iseul has lived a sheltered, privileged life despite the kingdom's turmoil. When her older sister, Suyeon, gets abducted to become one of the King's concubines, Iseul begins her journey to the capital in the hopes of stealing her sister back.

Prince Daehyun has lived his whole life in the terrifying shadow of his despicable half-brother, the king. Forced to watch King Yeonsan flaunt his abuse of the common folk, Daehyun aches to find a way to dethrone him once and for all.

When Iseul's and Daehyun's fates collide, their contempt for each other is transcended only by their mutual hate for the king. Armed with Iseul's family connections and Daehyun's royal access, they reluctantly join forces to launch the riskiest gamble the kingdom has ever seen:

Save her sister. Free the people. Destroy a tyrant.
