Scythes of Seven

"Honestly," Death's Red Scythe laughs lightly, tracing her fingers along her broken scythe's handle, "They think all it would take is a forest to kill me?"

------

On the surface, the world of Isle is a peaceful one. People get along, there are no major wars, and the gods seem to be purely benevolent towards them.

However, when Ana Petharice digs just a little deeper, she discovers the legacy of the legendary Seven Scythes, a group of elite warrior forged by Death herself to serve as her personal assassins. However, no one has seen the Scythes since the war 1000 years ago- no one but a girl named Carmine, who claims to be the long-lost Red Scythe.

When Carmine tells her that she plans to reform the Scythes, Ana is understandably skeptical. After all, all of the Scythes but one had allegedly died in the Battle of the Seven Day Vigil, 1000 years previously. Besides, she's just an ordinary dancer- there's no way she carries the power of one of the most legendary fighters ever to walk Isle.

War is brewing, old enemies are rising again, and Carmine has deadly secrets she won't share. However, with her new friends by her side- including Io, an incredibly beautiful noble who Ana feels a strange attraction towards- nothing can stand in their way.
