Product details

The Red Palace by John Hoare... "If you enter this palace, it's either death or a survival that makes you another ghost living within its walls..." Joseon Kingdom, Korea, 1758. The options for illegitimate girls in the capital are few, but through hard work and study, seventeen-year-old Hyeon secures a position as a palace nurse. All it takes is keeping her head down and doing her job well, perhaps eventually winning the favor of her estranged father. But Hyeon suddenly finds herself embroiled in the dark and dangerous world of court politics. When four women are murdered in a single night, the prime suspect turns out to be her best friend and teacher. Determined to prove her teacher's innocence, Hyeon begins her own secret investigation. On her quest for the truth, she meets Eugene, a young police inspector also searching for the killer. As evidence begins to emerge and suspicion falls on the Crown Prince himself, Hyeon joins forces with Eugene to explore the dark corners of the palace and uncover the deadly secrets behind the bloodshed.
