The Story

Five Samurai sparked a rebellion that toppled a kingdom.

After a war spanning five years, the regional warlords were defeated and power was solidified under the reign of Emperor Dai. The five samurai find peace, retiring from the military, but they have remained heroes to the people.

In the years following, Emperor Dai has increasingly fallen under the Machiavellian influence of his lover, Prime Minister Modoka, who sees the 5 Blades’ popularity as a threat to his rule. A small army is sent out to dispose of the Blades.

The Kickstarter has an early special where you get the book, a print, and 2 digital comics. The special ends on January 17th at 7 pm PST. Head here for more information about the Kickstarter.
