Seeds of Tamuri cover

When soldiers massacre her village and take the children, thirteen-year-old Minah loses everything—her family, her eye, and the only home she's ever known.

Separated from her childhood friend Yun, she's taken in by a warrior hunting the same empire. As Minah trains to become a weapon, her despair reaches a tipping point—leading to an encounter with a forgotten goddess.

Meanwhile, Yun navigates the capital's cutthroat noble houses, uncovering a conspiracy that leads back to the people who destroyed their village. Caught between noble families vying for power and a secret order conducting horrible experiments, he must decide how far he's willing to go for revenge.

To rescue the ones they love and avenge the dead, they'll have to become stronger than the empire that broke them—even if it costs them everything they have left.
