Rung Ho! A Novel

The narrative follows a young woman riding through a tense colonial city, a seasoned courier who probes unrest across provinces, and an acclaimed hunter whose feats unsettle a frontier garrison. Rumors of plots, clan ambitions, and priestly agitation spread through bazaars and border villages, drawing these figures into networks of espionage, loyalty tests, and political maneuvering. Long rides, clandestine meetings, and personal rivalries escalate the threat of wider upheaval, while recurring questions of honor, authority, and the costs of resistance shape the characters' choices and the looming confrontation for control of the region.
