North Carolina author Angel S. Broady brings her groundbreaking Asian-themed novella to audiobook format, offering listeners a unique narrative exploring themes of oppression, survival, and revenge through the story of a young princess.

Author Angel S. Broady has expanded the reach of her critically recognized novella with its release on Audible, bringing her distinctive storytelling to a broader audience through a compelling audio experience narrated by Minh Han.
The novella, "Yakuza Sweet Revenge", represents a significant milestone in Broady's literary career. In 2014, she became the first African American author to write an Asian-themed novella, challenging traditional literary boundaries and offering a fresh narrative perspective.
The story centers on a young princess living under the rule of a cruel emperor who oppresses his people and exploits young women. Set in the fictional Yanshi City, the narrative explores complex themes of power, resistance, and personal agency through the protagonist's journey.
Narrator Minh Han's performance adds depth to the story, using her voice to bring nuanced emotional layers to the princess's experiences. The audiobook format provides listeners an immersive way to engage with Broady's intricate storytelling.
Broady's achievement is particularly noteworthy given her relatively short writing career. Within just three years of beginning her writing journey, she has distinguished herself by creating a unique narrative that bridges cultural storytelling traditions.
The novella promises audiences a dynamic blend of action, adventure, and emotional complexity, inviting listeners to explore a world of dark secrets and personal transformation.
