LEGENDS OF THE PIERCED VEIL The Scarlet Blades

Mythical tales of bloodshed set in a Feudal Japan that runs rampant with spirits. They are  both demonic and heroic, fighting for the fate of their world. The Scarlet Blades, the first in this collection, is the tale of Raido, a young amnesiac Ronin – a masterless Samurai – who roams Japan in a quest for his memories. His first stop is the city that talks to the sky, the ultimate stronghold against the ice invading the land of the rising sun. There, he meets Meiki, a graceful puppeteer and storyteller with a secret history of her own. I haven't read this yet, but the artwork, it is amazing. Delicate, detailed, panoramic, epic battle scenes, wonderful mountainous locations with just the right fantasy element. A hero who never gives up, not matter how badly he's been wounded. Demons galore!- Bud
