Ashes Under Silk: Path of the Shrine Keeper

Gaia was raised within the isolated Black Dragon Shrine, where balance was worshipped above all else.   But balance was never meant to survive the return of the dragons.   After strange dreams begin haunting her nights, whispers spread across the eastern mountains of a cursed black blade tied to ancient prophecy. Entire camps vanish overnight. Red storms gather beyond the shrine walls. And for the first time in centuries, fear begins creeping back into the world.   The monks call Gaia a peace keeper.   Others begin calling her something far more dangerous.   As her connection to the Black Dragon deepens, Gaia is drawn toward a fate tied to a name spoken only in fragments through the darkness:   Kakiro.   Some destinies save the world.   Others break it.
