Sword of Kaigen

Sword of Kaigen (Ukrainian title: «Меч Кайгену») by M. L. Wang is an epic fantasy about a family and an empire on the edge of war. A mother struggling with her violent past. A son trying to grasp his violent future. A father blind to the danger that threatens them all. On a mountainside along the border of the Kaigen Empire live the most powerful fighters in the world — superhumans who can lift the sea and wield blades of ice.

Fourteen-year-old Mamoru has always known his purpose: master his family's fighting techniques and defend the homeland. But when a stranger lifts the curtain on Kaigen's supposedly peaceful age, he realises he has little time to become the warrior he was raised to be — and that the empire he must protect may be built on lies. Misaki, who swore to leave the passions of her youth behind, feels the fighter inside her clawing to the surface. Will the Matsuda family be strong enough to defend their empire, or tear each other apart before the real enemy lands?
