Synopsis:

No matter who you are or where you're from, with enough aspiration, courage and training you could become a Blade Forger, win the tournament and be the new Emperor.

The discovery of CORUM, a never seen before energy source, led to a bloody world war for its control.
After years of destruction, the Lords of the Lands agreed to negotiate a ceasefire for lasting peace.
The BLADE FORGERS TREATY was born from that meeting.
This treaty established that the mining of Corum would be centralized through one government, led by a neutral Emperor.
The Emperor would have to be a BLADE FORGER, a mystical swordsman, and claim the title in a tournament called The Tournament of the Five Rings. Every five years Blade Forgers from every corner of the Empire would fight for the possibility of becoming the new Emperor.
A young Blade Forger named Owada challenges the Emperor in the name of the forsaken people. This is the story of what happens next.

About the Author: Inaki Miranda earned a degree in fine arts and established a place for himself in the comics industry, collaborating with DC Comics for more than a decade on such titles as Coffin Hill, Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Batman Beyond. In 2024 he received an Eisner nomination as Best Artist for his work in Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons, which was also nominated as Best Miniseries. In 2020, Inaki and his brother Roy joined their creative minds and published the Eisner-nominated hit WE LIVE. Different life paths that met in the territory of ideas and narration. The Brothers watched the same films, played the same video games, read the same comics and shared the same Star Wars and He-Man figures. Their imaginative impulses led them to create stories together… as if they were returning to that messy bedroom they shared as children.
