Roka: Keeper of the Walls

The young apprentice Roka knows her sword master is a ticking time bomb, she just doesn’t know he’s counting down to his own death. While her Master Yusubru hides plans for a final sacrifice, Roka’s attention is focused on starting her new career. She is finishing six years as an apprentice Sentinel and there’s a prestigious job as Keeper of the Walls opening in the imperial capital of her nation. But dark shadows loom over the city. Colonizers that once brought war and disease to Roka’s home now bring trade and schools, exerting influence under the guise of friendship. At their head is the haughty Elise King who whispers in the ear of the emperor. The gifts she offers appear enticing on the surface, but only Master Yusubru knows the dark future she plots. All Roka has ever wanted to do is serve her people on her own terms, both the troubled and the troublers. A Sentinel is a protector. When her master is gone, how will she keep her people safe? You can expect a new chapter of Roka: Keeper of the Walls every Monday and Wednesday. Cover art by Souta. Look them up on VGen.
