Description

In fifteenth-century Korea, two brothers discover a shared passion for kites. Kee-sup crafts kites of exceptional strength and beauty, while his younger brother Young-sup can fly them with an uncanny sense of control. When the young king chooses Young-sup to fly the royal kite in the New Year competition, both brothers know that this honor is too great for just one of them. Their combined skills attract attention from those around them, but the brothers are determined to follow their hearts and do what they believe is right. As they navigate the complexities of tradition and family expectations, they must also contend with the weight of responsibility that comes with representing their family in this prestigious competition. This moving historical novel brings a remarkable setting vividly to life, filled with authentic detail and flavor.
