![]() And when Misaki receives a letter from her past warning that the entire Kusanagi Peninsula is in danger, she may be pulled back into the warrior’s lifestyle that she was forced to give up. When she tacitly confirms Kwang’s claims, Mamoru can’t help but act rashly. She was once an accomplished warrior in her own right, though she put that life aside in order to marry into the Matsuda family and provide it with young sons. Mamoru is at first offended by Kwang’s claim-that the Kaigenese Empire flatters and lies to the provincial Kusanagi in order to use them as cannon fodder in their wars-but what if he isn’t lying? Mamoru goes to his mother, Misaki, to ask her about these things. ![]() But a new student, Kwang Chul-hee, transfers from outside of the province and informs Mamoru that most of what he and his friends are being taught in school is propaganda. ![]() Fourteen-year-old Mamoru represents the next generation of the Matsuda clan, and he is already an accomplished student at the elite Kumono Academy. The Matsudas are the peninsula’s most eminent warrior family, possessing inherited magic skills and boasting a long line of heroes who have defended the empire from foreign enemies. The “Sword of Kaigen” is the poetic sobriquet of the Kusanagi Peninsula, whose renowned warriors have long been the most respected in the Kaigenese Empire. ![]() This companion novel to a YA series tells the story of a mother and son caught up in a shadow war. ![]()
