What This Collection Covers:
Across the three titles, the Broken Blades universe expands from political assassination plots to forbidden bargains and perilous chases through diverse realms. The five blades—each with a shadowed past and a motive for revenge—are pulled deeper into a conspiracy that spans a tyrannical king’s reign and rival powers such as Quilimar and Khitan. To survive, they must balance trust and betrayal as deceit becomes currency and alliances shift with astonishing speed. The series blends fast-paced action with quiet moments of character revelation, showing how fear, ambition, and conscience shape choices under pressure. Epistolary hints, fractured memories, and escalating reveals keep readers hooked, while the broader world behind the plot remains richly textured—an invitation to lose yourself in a kingdom on the brink of upheaval.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Five Broken Blades: The king of Yusan must die. In this opening act, five of the realm’s most dangerous liars are summoned to join forces for a hauntingly simple objective: to kill God King Joon. Each blade carries a bitter history, a motive for revenge, and a willingness to risk everything to topple a tyrant who has ruled with an iron hand. The novel introduces a high-stakes conspiracy, a cast of morally gray characters, and a world where betrayal is currency. As loyalties unravel, readers are drawn into a web of schemes where one misstep could doom an entire realm. The balance of power tilts with every decision, and the cost of failure is death or ruin.

Four Ruined Realms: The King of Yusan may be the greatest liar of them all. When his sister’s ring becomes the prize, the blades are pulled deeper into a game of shifting loyalties and covert operations. To snatch the ring from a ruler famed for cunning, they must steal it from under his nose—an act that tests their trust in one another and their own limits. As the clock ticks, Quilimar’s queen blocks the path, and a perilous chase across borders reveals that partnership may be the only way to survive. The tension escalates into a desperate heist that could crush kingdoms and spark a new order.

Three Shattered Souls: Some betrayals cut deeper than blades. After the harrowing events at Quu Harbor, the remaining liars discover that escape is no longer enough; they must return to Yusan to finish what they started. But a usurper sits on the serpent throne, more dangerous than the god-king they hunted. Old wounds reopen as alliances fracture and new enemies emerge. The trio of novels culminates in a pulse-pounding finale where every choice matters and the line between hero and villain blurs. The reckoning tests every blade’s resolve, and the fate of the realm hinges on whether trust can survive the ultimate revelation.
