SOUL AND BLOOD

In a world where swords are not forged from metal, but from soul, blood, and desire, lineage is everything... and not everyone is born with the right to wield their destiny.

Each clan guards a secret, a wound, and a unique way of turning human essence into a weapon. But none are more revered-or feared-than those of the Blood Clan. For generations, only the highborn have had the privilege of awakening a blood-forged sword... until duty and pain break the rules.

Anata, heir to the crimson throne, begins her initiation journey accompanied by her sworn blood-siblings. Only fervor, loss, or an act of absolute love can awaken her sword. But the path does not wait. A young archer without a blade, a warrior whose will surpasses his bloodline, and a threat even the ancients cannot comprehend will cross her destiny.

On the other side of the world, a boy from the Inner Flame Clan watches how the fires of honor burn deeper than war. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a young man from Anata's own clan hides a deep hatred for those he once believed worthy of admiration. And in the East... the Breathless Ones multiply, thirsting for life, led by an unknown figure who breaks every law of their cursed existence.

Can a soul choose its own sword? Or will blood always decide who is worthy of glory... and who of oblivion?

In this tale of warring clans, living swords, and intertwined fates, Soul and Blood is an epic about honor, betrayal, legacy, and the eternal struggle between what we inherit... and what we choose to become.
