The Bloody Chorus — John Marco

For a hundred years, the Cryori ruled the human continent from the island nation of Nesenor, raiding the lands for riches, and spreading the worship of their goddess Clionet. Now the humans, led by the zealot Reius, have formed the J'horan Alliance to challenge the Cryori.

Sixteen-year-old Haru believes his father was murdered by J'horans. Now the ruler of Nesenor, he vows to avenge his father. With the help of his gifted bodyguards, known as the Bloody Chorus, he sets off on his mission to murder Reius, bringing the two empires to the edge of war.
