Publisher's summary

It's the season for treason …
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.

He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined … or sold.

And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness—from the hired hit man seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance.

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.

This audiobook is narrated by Donald Chang, Greg Chun, Zion Jang, Sophie Oda, Jaine Ye, and Roger Yeh.

Worth the wait

Five Broken Blades is a book that surprised me. It started slow but I am glad I finished it. The ending…WOW! There HAS to be a book two. I will be waiting.

The narration did not seem to fit the story but it did not subtract from the effect.

Gripping story!

I felt as if I was watching a well-written drama play out in real time. The action, the suspense, the romance, the plot twist… so good! I’m completely hooked and can’t wait for book 2! The cast did fantastic and were all very believable.

A heist with a little murder as a treat...

Gorgeous performance by several narrators bring a daring heist to life as the book cycles through points of view. All of the main characters try to puzzle out their partner's motives while trying to succeed in their own. Read this if you like heists, unreliable narrators, and subterfuge. The twist at the end is exactly what you'll suspect until it isn't...

It was actually a pretty good book with a solid story story

It was actually a pretty good book with a solid storyline, all the characters seem to mesh well, and the plot is actually good. It’s not predictable and the end of the book works really well to hang for the next book that’s coming into series overall, it’s a solid read.
