The duty of a bladesworn is one of unquestionable abidance to his master. Such is the first code of the blade. Far East, in a time before an expansion of a great nation, the land of Issu stands in isolation. Copious with deep valleys, winding rivers, and all forms of untamed life, the land is breathtaking as it was barbaric, tempered only by the discipline of those who lived in it. Akha, a Bladesworn, was entrusted to a master of a mere fourteen years. During an important ceremonial rite that he was to undertake far into the mountain, word came upon the death of his young master, by which he was accused responsible. Masterless, hunted, and stripped of honor, Akha finds himself in the shores farthest from any civilization. Upon learning a shot of redemption, Akha must travel across the continent to regain his honor, enact his vengeance, and complete his broken rite.

Jean is a 23 year old medical student who thinks that life is all just about studying and becoming top of her class. Just when Jean's life was just about as monotonous as it gets— An invitation from an old ancestral descent takes her family into the countryside for a spontaneous summer vacation that she had least expected. It was going to be one boring vacation. Or so she thought. Her life all changed when she meets a self-taught scholar, Raim, who studied vastly the stars in an old lighthouse just a mile from her ancestor's manor. After one strange incident, everyday had never been the same since. From miniature blackholes, water puppies, cosmic monsters, and gigantic star-eating old gods— Jean finds out that there was something far more in life than just the science in textbooks. But with malevolent beings and indifferent gods threatening life as we know it, it's up to Jean and Raim to save the fate of all mankind; all while an anatomy exam is coming up.
