ABOUT THE BOOK
Amid a literal fog of war on a disputed planet, a woman is thrust into battle, forced to fight in her captors' war. With an empire at her back, ready to kill her at the slightest hesitation, this slave-turned-reluctant hero must battle through an unknown enemy, scientific abominations, and truly alien terrain to uncover the truth about her identity and that of her enslaved companions.
From the author of Cursed Bunny, told in sparse, evocative prose and translated by Anton Hur, Red Sword draws on the real history of Korean soldiers who fought and died in a war against Russia on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. It combines world-building with a thought-provoking question: what does it mean to wield power over others?
