THE ASHEN COURT

For two hundred years, the Amagiri family has rung their shrine bell every dawn to chase away the night. Then a polite stranger knocks at the gate. Kurogane, the Black Scale, is a demon who judges people by their sins, and no one is ever innocent. In one night he kills Hiro’s whole family while Hiro hides inside the bell he was told to ring. Now Hiro must join the Vigil and master a lost sword style to face the Ashen Court, demons who fight with their sins. But the heaviest guilt is his own.For two hundred years, the Amagiri family has rung their shrine bell every dawn to chase away the night. Then a polite stranger knocks at the gate.
