SUMMARY:August Book Club: The Sword of Kaigen
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 28% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nFor August\, let's plan to read The Sword of Kaigen by M.
 L. Wang.\n\nLocation TBD\, will announce closer to the date.\n\nSynopsis:\
 nOn a mountainside at the edge of the Kaigenese Empire live the most power
 ful warriors in the world\, superhumans capable of raising the sea and wie
 lding blades of ice. For hundreds of years\, the fighters of the Kusanagi 
 Peninsula have held the Empire's enemies at bay\, earning their frozen spi
 t of land the name 'The Sword of Kaigen.' Born into Kusanagi's legendary M
 atsuda family\, fourteen-year-old Mamoru has always known his purpose: to 
 master his family's fighting techniques and defend his homeland. But when 
 an outsider arrives and pulls back the curtain on Kaigen's alleged age of 
 peace\, Mamoru realizes that he might not have much time to become the fig
 hter he was bred to be. Worse\, the empire he was bred to defend may stand
  on a foundation of lies.\n\nMisaki told herself that she left the passion
 s of her youth behind when she married into the Matsuda house. Determined 
 to be a good housewife and mother\, she hid away her sword\, along with ev
 erything from her days as a fighter in a faraway country. But with her gro
 wing son asking questions about the outside world\, the threat of an impen
 ding invasion looming across the sea\, and her frigid husband grating on h
 er nerves\, Misaki finds the fighter in her clawing its way back to the su
 rface.\n\nWhen the winds of war reach their peninsula\, will the Matsuda f
 amily have the strength to defend their empire? Or will they tear each oth
 er apart before the true enemies even reach their shores?
