Yona of the Dawn

Princess Yona’s life is one of sheltered privilege. As the sole heir to the kingdom, she is deeply cherished by her father, the king, and fiercely guarded by her loyal protector, Hak. Her greatest joy, however, lies in the time she shares with Su-won, the man she loves. Yet this idyllic existence shatters on her sixteenth birthday when a devastating tragedy tears her family apart. Thrust into sudden chaos, Yona witnesses the murder of someone dear to her and finds herself fighting for her own survival. With no one left to trust but Hak, she narrowly escapes the palace walls, forced to flee from the very forces that now hunt her. Stripped of her royal comforts and hunted as an enemy, the displaced princess must navigate a hostile world where every path forward is fraught with danger. No longer the sheltered girl who lived behind castle gates, Yona faces a brutal new reality. To reclaim what was stolen from her, she must transform her grief into resolve, forging a path through uncertainty to rise and fight for her rightful throne.
