Valiant Masters: Rai Volume 1

4001 A.D. - Tohru Nakadai is the 42nd Rai, the spirit guardian of
Japan. Infused with the energy of his ancestors and dedicated to the way of the
samurai, Rai is sworn to the service of Grandmother - the personified,
artificial intelligence that governs the island nation of Japan. For forty
generations, Grandmother's benevolent dominion has endured, but in the wake of
her sudden disappearance, Rai will become all that stands between his nation and
all-out chaos. As humanist factions war with mechanist loyalist for control of
the future, the masterless Tohru is about to become the first Rai that must
choose for himself how best to defend his people, his family, and his
honor.
