Description:In the ruins of a grim and savage world, an orphaned young samurai boy is adopted by the ruthless leader of a clan of ninja.
The
world is not as it once was. Aeons have passed since a great doom
befell the elder civilisation of Antediluvia, and what remains of its
descendants now reside in the ruins of a shattered realm. But with the
unearthing of an old prophecy comes an escalation of terrifying
events...
When an otherworldly maelstrom appears in the sky, an
ancient tree-dwelling creature saves a young girl from maws of monsters
to become her reluctant guardian in remote wilderness.
After a
young boy named Kiyoshi is spirited away to the mountain stronghold of a
clan of ninja, he falls under the protection of their mysterious
oyabun. But for how long?Hunted by masked
assassins, an elderly warrior is enlisted by a tribe of marauding
cannibals to help arm them against a mutual enemy.
A pair of
pariahs—an exiled sheikh and a heretic mathemajician — form an unlikely
alliance in a sinister plot to exhume primeval technologies and seize a
great power.
Rumoured to be the last of a race of immortal
healers, a wandering witch becomes embroiled in a frightening conspiracy
when she crosses paths with an infamous ronin outlaw. Accused of war
crimes and worse, he flees the sadistic Burned priests of the
Inquisition and the vengeful wrath of his old nemesis, the Shogun.
Meanwhile,
the fanatical samurai of the Imperial White stand constant vigil over
the gilded sarcophagus of their hibernating emperor, Uur the Undying.
Few believe he shall ever rise again, and even those who know better,
pray the same.
How all these things are interconnected remains
unsure, yet one thing seems certain: forces unknown desperately want the
boy Kiyoshi dead, and no one knows why.
