Publisher's Synopsis
Ashira Mori, a seventeen-year-old veteran, is thrust into the unforgiving wilderness after a wrongful accusation tears her from the only life she's known. Homeless, ostracized, and haunted by the echoes of war, she must grapple with a brutal reality far removed from the battlefield.
But Ashira is no ordinary girl. Her veins course with Ki, a mystical energy that guides her through life and is an ally when called upon. A mysterious owl named Raiju offers cryptic whispers of destiny, while flashes of a near-death experience hint at something far more profound than mere survival.
As Ashira navigates the hidden world of society's outcasts, she stumbles upon a ragtag band of souls clinging to hope within the back-alleyways of high society.
Yet, the past casts a long shadow. When tragedy strikes, she is forced to confront the ghosts of her past and make a moral choice: risk her pride, her values or newfound loyalty in her self-imposed exile.
MORI is a spellbinding journey of resilience, self-discovery, and the unwavering spirit of hope. It delves into the depths of suffering, explores the intricate ties of loyalty and betrayal, and celebrates the unyielding power of friendship in the face of an uncertain future.
