In a land haunted by fractured clans and forgotten honor, three swordsmen walk paths shaped by blood, betrayal, and buried truths.
Aira Akebono, once heir to a noble lineage destroyed in a silent coup, hides beneath a cloak of exile, her blade carrying the weight of a legacy she barely understands. Beneath her quiet strength lies a storm of grief — and a past that refuses to stay buried.
Ren, a street-smart orphan raised by a fallen samurai, survives on wit and raw instinct. Feeding the mouths of those abandoned like he once was, he fights in the shadows of illegal sword contests, searching for strength in chaos — and a meaning he can’t yet name.
Kairo, a silent guardian bound by guilt and loyalty, wanders the outskirts of rebellion. Once charged with protecting the Akebono heir, he believes the girl he failed is long dead... until whispers of a lone swordswoman reach his ears.
As fate sharpens each blade, their lives edge closer. But peace is a fragile dream, and war — whether in the heart or on the battlefield — waits for no one.
