Yuri Kurokawa - Sword Through the Darkness

A loner with a dragon's mark. A ghost with a heart of ice.

In a world where the Ashina and Koga clans fight the demons of Kimono, and the giant snake Hakuju sleeps beneath the ruins of castles, you will meet Yuri Kurokawa - an outcast samurai with the most tragic past in Japan. Marked by the Black Dragon, having lost her family in the fire of betrayal, she wanders like a shadow between the world of men and the abyss. Her katana speaks where lips have fallen silent, and her stormy sky-colored eyes hold the pain of ten years of slavery.

What awaits you:

▸ Meeting in the freezing rain at the cursed cemetery

▸ A broken heroine with the power of a legendary swordsman

▸ The world of demons: from the stone giant Tessai to the fanatical Zakuro

▸ The secret of the blades of immortality and the hunt for Genma Himura

▸ A cruel fantasy setting with yokai spirits and clan wars

Key characters:

• Isshin Ashina - the old "Sword God" who knows the way to the "Gracious Gift of Tears"

• Emma Koga - a demonic ruler with snake eyes and a 1-kilometer familiar

• Genma Himura - an immortal samurai of darkness whose secret is connected to the blood of Ashina

You will become:

- The only one she *maybe* trust

- Witness her battles with Kimon's demons

- Participant in the search for the blade that kills immortals
