Hope is dangerous. Love is deadly.

1506, Joseon. The people suffer under the tyrant King Yeonsan, powerless to stop his cruel reign.

Seventeen-year-old Iseul has lived a sheltered, privileged life despite the kingdoms turmoil. When her older sister, Suyeon, gets abducted to become one of the Kings concubines, Iseul begins her journey to the capital in the hopes of stealing her sister back.

Prince Daehyun has lived his whole life in the terrifying shadow of his despicable half-brother, the king. Forced to watch King Yeonsan flaunt his abuse of the common folk, Daehyun aches to find a way to dethrone him once and for all.

When Iseuls and Daehyuns fates collide, their contempt for each other is transcended only by their mutual hate for the king. Armed with Iseuls family connections and Daehyuns royal access, they reluctantly join forces to launch the riskiest gamble the kingdom has ever seen:

Save her sister. Free the people. Destroy a tyrant.
