The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story

Better to die sharp in war than rust through a time of peace. This epic fantasy plunges into the heart of the Kaigenese Empire, focusing on the legendary Matsuda family, whose warriors possess superhuman abilities to manipulate the sea and wield blades of ice. As war approaches their peninsula, the family must confront internal strife and external threats that could shatter their empire.

Fourteen-year-old Mamoru, born into the legendary Matsuda family, is destined to master his family’s fighting techniques to defend his homeland, the Kusanagi Peninsula—known as ‘The Sword of Kaigen.’ However, an outsider’s arrival reveals that the empire’s supposed age of peace may be built on lies, forcing Mamoru to rapidly become the fighter he was bred to be.

Meanwhile, his mother, Misaki, struggles to keep her violent past as a fighter from a faraway country buried. Determined to be a good housewife and mother, the looming invasion and the friction with her frigid husband force the warrior within her to resurface.
