    About this ebook

    A work that combines a neo-classical revival of the Western tradition of drama and poetry within an Eastern legendary setting, revealing timeless themes of enduring love, power, and greed.

    Set in the distant past of Korea, the ruling King choses to flaunt the traditions of his nation in order to increase his family's already significant royal advantage in both power and wealth.   Unknown to him, his actions against nature set into play events by which justice will be poetically achieved.  Unfortunately, the royal family has discarded the most critical element: wisdom.  This oversight in time will expose the corruption of the soothsayers and royalty.  Nature's and destiny's arc are both interwoven in one character: Iris.
