Nightshade the Cloakmaster and the Vision of a New Wind, Volume 2 Simon Hillin

"The only worthwhile lessons we learn are the ones that teach us discipline--or the ones that give us sore eyes." Through shattered shields and broken blades; new bonds forged, new paths are paved. Upon the most ghastly fate deemed imaginable, Tojiro Ankoku, relinquished from the pain of finding his childhood home abandoned--relents. By no short amount of luck, Momiji Hanataba and friends take refuge in the wilds of Sekigahara, furthest from the sights of the G. D. R. M. Though their eyes wander just as the totalitarian might led by Percival Maestro, the self-proclaimed Promised Greatest faces a fearsome obstacle in her dream of becoming a Nightshade. Overwhelmed by the horror of the Nightshade's true face, a mental deluge tearing away at her, Momiji begins to question the power of her dream. While the company may be seeking respite from the storm of war, even then--that, too, is short lived. For within the shadow of peacetime, chaos always finds a way to creep through. In lessons learned by strangers, allies, and even enemies, the life of a Tonzou Bearer remains a solitary one. Now, in a most desperate time, Tojiro must stand up--take what is his and find his future. A destiny that awaits him at the world's most prolific combat school for Tonzou Users all over the world. The "epic, action-adventure of mythological fantasy" continues, as the colorful and dazzling world of a chaotic Earth run rampant in volume two of the Saga One. Visualized in Japanese anime and manga style, the characters and lore of "Nightshade the Cloakmaster" offer a global flavor inspired by mythologies and stories known the world over. A tribute to all things good and evil, this 'story of a monster and how he changed our world' delivers on the unique bond shared between life's greatest powers: Chaos and Hope. A tale of redemption of discovery, 'Vision of a New Wind' delves into the harsh reality of what it means to be human--rather than invincible. As the journey continues!
