Kin and Nami have been yearning for adventure. The sleepy little village they grew up near holds no surprises for the youths. They finally have their chance to see new places as they set off on their people's coming-of-age ordeal. Along the way, they face bandits, monsters from the realm of shadows, and a feud between their families that might just tear these young lovers away from each other. Formally known as Song of Phoenix on Royal Road. Cover made by Rabekah!
