Five Broken Blades (The Broken Blades, #1)

by Mai Corland

I don’t know why I helped him, why I’d help any of them now, except this is who I am. This is what Seok never took from me with all of his poison and torture. I still love. I still care. And that’s why this all hurts. I trusted all of them. But people like Seok and Joon love no one. All they will ever be is hate, isolation, and fear.

“We did the unimaginable—we didn’t just meet at the arena from four parts of Yusan; we worked together. We killed and bled for one another. We were able to gain one another’s trust, while lying and deceiving the whole time. If we can do that, we can find a way to make the queen our ally. And then we will use her to get everything we want. Including revenge.”

Maybe Ty is right. Maybe I am steel. And I swear I will break his chains and Daysum’s before King Joon feels my blade.
