About
When you refuse to conform to the world you were born into, do you then create your own?
This is a story about a man who founded his own kingdom.
All Choi Jiyong knows is his carefree days hawking vegetables at the Namdong market, and his service as a jolly hand at a river-side tavern.
But one day, it all changes when he saves the life of a mysterious girl.
Suddenly, he is plunged into a world of political rivalry, deadly turmoil, and incomprehensible tragedy. However, what he thinks is just an end to life as he has known it, becomes the start of his journey towards a destiny that has been ordained in his name: his hand will bring to its knees, dynasties that have been since the beginning of time.
This is a tale of supernatural forces, of love and of guilt, of revenge and of truth. Wars will arise and kingdoms will fall, kings will become victims, and slaves will become gods.
Author’s note: This is a historical/period romance novel set in Korea in the 900’s.
