39 parts Ongoing In a land of swordsmanship and myth, three English children are about to change the course of history...
~~~
Colin, Madeline, and Brian Evans have always sought adventure. But try as they might to find intrigues and escapades at their ailing grandfather's estate, their quest continues to prove fruitless.
Until one day, a misplaced door leading to a misplaced stairway takes them to a foreign world of warriors and legends. At last, an adventure seems within their grasp.
In the beautiful and mysterious land of Makoto, the Evans children meet a pair of young samurai - siblings Shin and Min Kazuo - who show the children that Makoto's peaceful beauty is nothing but a faΓ§ade. The country is plagued by unpredictable raids, a clan of merciless bounty hunters, and a faction of sinister ShΕgun.
When Min is captured and taken to the ShΕgun's palace, Shin teaches the art of swordsmanship to the Evans children, and they begin a perilous journey toward freeing Makoto.
However, the origin of the ShΕgun's rule is far darker than the Makotan people know. Evil forces are at work. And amidst the war for freedom, the Evans children discover that no adventure comes without danger or cost.
