The Spider's House

About this book

In worlds ruled by iron and swept by famine winds, where no voice rises above swords' clang and the four kingdoms' roar, the novel "The Spider's House" emerges as a human epic transcending battle bounds to dive into the human psyche's depths. The tale begins in 350 BC, in a time when the kingdom of "Ashrem" imposed its sway with the sun tattooed on its soldiers' bodies, while the kingdoms of "Nirmun," "Erken," and "Narit" struggled to survive in an endless struggle. Between palace corridors full of schemes and blood-covered battlefields, Ghorika stands out; the young man raised in the sage Yukai's care away from crowns' din, learning that true strength lies not in the blade's edge, but in "the spider's house" woven of fear, letdown, and despair. Can frail threads of feeling bring down great kingdoms? And how does a simple firewood seller turn into an entire nation's hope facing "the Wings of Peace's" false treachery? This work is no mere narration of an imaginary history, but a journey.
