Shadow's Oath Novel

In Yoon Hyun-seung's compelling war novel, "Shadow's Oath," a slave boy's singular action abruptly terminates a brutal, prolonged conflict. Ram, a slave hardened by war, successfully assassinates a ruthless warlord, halting the devastating fighting and initiating a period of uncertain peace. However, this hard-won victory proves to be only the beginning of a far more perilous journey for Ram and his unexpected allies: Jedrick, a resolute northern chieftain; Damian, an ambitious southern prince; and Charlon, a fiercely independent duke's daughter. These four individuals, bound by a secret agreement, find themselves entangled in a dangerous conspiracy. Their initial triumph has merely paved the way for a deadlier, more intricate game, where the fate of their fractured world hangs precariously in the balance.
