Episode Thirty Three

Betrayal has never been so tantalizing as in Maya Corland’s “Five Broken Blades,” where five deadly assassins must form an uneasy alliance against an immortal tyrant—if they don’t kill each other first.

When a mysterious summons brings together the most dangerous liars in the land, their mission seems straightforward: assassinate the God-King Jun who rules with immortal cruelty. Yet nothing about this alliance is simple. Royo, the hired hitman haunted by past mistakes; Sora, the poison maiden whose very touch brings death; Prince Ewan, banished for alleged crimes; and two equally lethal companions must navigate a labyrinth of deception where trust itself becomes a weapon.

Whether you’re seeking political intrigue, complex character studies, or slow-burn romance in your fantasy, “Five Broken Blades” offers a taste of each—though you’ll have to decide for yourself if this blend of deadly missions and blossoming feelings hits the mark. Listen as we unravel the many layers of betrayal, redemption, and unexpected connection in the first installment of Corland’s captivating trilogy.
