"Better to die sharp in war than rust through a time of peace."
High on a snowy mountain overlooking the ocean, the Kusanagi Peninsula stands as the shield of the Empire. Known as "The Sword of Kaigen," this frozen land is home to warriors who can bend the sea to their will and wield blades of ice.
The Matsuda Family is breaking:
The Mother: Misaki buried her violent past to become a dutiful housewife. But as her husband grows distant and her son grows curious, the fighter she locked away is clawing back to the surface.
The Son: Fourteen-year-old Mamoru was born to defend his homeland. But when a stranger reveals that the Empire’s "peace" is built on lies, he realizes he may be fighting for the wrong side.
The Father: Blinded by tradition, he cannot see the tsunami of danger approaching them all.
When the winds of war finally crash against their shores, will the Matsuda family have the strength to stand together? Or will the secrets of the past tear them apart before the enemy even lands?
A standalone fantasy masterpiece about duty, family, and the terrifying power of water.
