Wayward: Exile and Survival on the Silk Road

By Fred Suh

"How does a Goryeo physician end up in Cairo?"

The Pax Mongolica has connected the world in blood and commerce. From the Pacific to the Mediterranean, caravans and carracks move fortunes in spice, silk, and swords.

Yujin, a young physician from the subjugated kingdom of Goryeo, never meant to travel these roads. He wanted only to tend his father's clinic by the sea. But the demands of the Mongol war machine tear him from his home and cast him adrift on the tides of history.

Shipwrecked on a foreign shore, Yujin becomes a reluctant traveler on the greatest trade network humanity has ever known. He carries no sword, only the medical knowledge of his trade and a mind trained to see what others miss.

Wayward plunges into the vibrant, brutal reality of the 13th century - a world where a healer must learn to mend more than bodies while walking the long, dusty road of exile.
