In the breathtaking sequel to Lee Young-do’s acclaimed fantasy series that started with The Heart of the Nhaga, an unlikely leader must bridge the divide between duty and destiny. Available for the first time in English by award-winning translator Anton Hur. In a world teetering on the brink of another devastating war, old hatreds run deep. The northern lands live in the shadow of the Nhaga, a powerful race from the south, whose ambition threatens to once again plunge the world into chaos. To stop them, an ancient prophecy must be fulfilled, and a new leader must rise—one who can unite the fractured kingdoms against a common enemy. When a young Nhaga warrior is reluctantly thrust into a position of leadership, a perilous journey begins. The warrior, along with a grizzled pathfinder haunted by his past and a band of misfits, must navigate a realm of political intrigue, mythical beasts, and warring gods. They are pursued by relentless assassins and confronted by a conspiracy so vast it could shatter the foundations of their world. To survive, they must forge new alliances and confront the ghosts of their memories. An unforgettable epic fantasy, Those Who Prepare the Way is brilliantly translated into English for the first time ever by award-winning translator Anton Hur.
