Publishers Weekly

Five Broken Blades is thrilling, addictive, and simply incredible. Mai Corland's writing is as elegant and incendiary as wildfire, sweeping through a lush, folkloric world and its madcap adventures at the same time that she effortlessly shuffles through the perspectives of a vibrant cast of beautifully realized characters that one can't help but root for. What a stunning debut!

Thea Guanzon, USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

The King of Yusan must die.

The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the God King Joon.

They can agree on murder. They can agree on treachery.

But for these five killers – each versed in deception, lies, and betrayal – it’s not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other . . . but only one can take the crown.

Let the best liar win.
