Your mother needed you to be a prince.
When your father was slain and your mother fled into exile, the prophecy was her only comfort. The child in her belly would be a prince, it said, who would wield his father's sword, avenge his death and take back his throne. But when the time came, your mother didn't have a boy.
She had you.
Raised to conceal your body, you take up your father's sword on your eighteenth birthday and set out to fulfill your destiny as a prince, regardless of your sex. You must travel far from the bamboo forests of the mountains; under the earth and into the sky and over the walls of your father's palace, where his enemy awaits with a secret you could never have imagined. You will face powerful monsters and painful memories as you struggle to complete a journey that will prove who and what you are.
You are the Knife's Daughter, and this is a story about you.
