NightBlade

The first volume of NightBlade opens the colonial civilization elimination trial and closes with a single threshold: one foot has stepped onto it. The four Earth representatives — Gu Yuanzheng, Léon, Erik, Nadia — have discovered that their war-husks are not the tools Civilization R provided, but something far older, written into their bodies by a hand they cannot yet see. Volume Two — The Twelve Blades — begins at that door.
