The Foreign Blade

“Don’t keep me waiting, my love…” These were the last words Surin heard before leaving Persia’s burning sands behind. But the storm that should have killed him cast him instead onto foreign shores chained, beaten, and sold as a slave. Dragged into the brutal world of the Murim, where warriors split mountains and clans rule like kings, Surin must rise from nothing with only a shamshir, a soldier’s will, and the memory of the family he left behind. Forced to fight, forced to adapt, forced to survive, Surin’s journey will take him from the lowest slave caravan to the heart of the martial world. Will he carve a path back home? Or will this strange land forge him into something far greater… or far darker?
