Blades of Ivory

Kohinara grew up in a small farm on an insignificant little village, learning to believe in values such as family and love. but now she is older and deadlier, her family snatched from her long ago, and instead grows to learn a more important ideal: bravery. Or perhaps it is recklessness. she finds her place in a gang of thugs and thieves called the Ivory Blades, but even though she manages to find a new place and a new family, her secrets have slowly begun to pile up and she is afraid for the future, angry that she has to hide herself from her friend.
Cosha has secrets of his own, those of which might be the end of him, especially his undying loyalty to his uncle, a fearful, questionable man.
Amaira Kodachi, the queen regent of Krazen, is fearful for her son's life, who was recently declared king. She sill stop at nothing to keep him safe, from those who would wish to harm him and the taint of his father's past.
