Description

The sister nations of Gin and Kuro were created through war. And just as they began in a feud, they will end in one.

Seiko, the bastard daughter of the king’s brother, takes a job watching over her half-siblings and cousins as a governess. Civil war breaks out upon the king’s death, leading many to side against the supposedly-tainted royal family.

Yet Seiko herself holds the true curse of the bloodline, being able to understand deadly voices that wish only for violence and the end of the kingdom.

Her story will echo throughout the centuries, until one day a boy sacrifices himself so his family can be freed from tragedy.

Chapters 1-7 will be posted daily. Chapter 8 and onward will be posted on a Mon/Wed/Fri schedule.

A rewrite ofGin and Kuro. In the same world asSong of Dakari.

    Gin and Kuro from what I can tell appears to be a fantasy story that takes inspiration from Japanese mythology.
    Style: I thought the story was well written. Chapters are easy to click through and digest from as far as I've read.
    Story: I enjoy the setting and the idea of two warring states whose irreconcilable differences has permeated itself with its peoples cultures. I think that the author has placed a microscope on an interesting subsection of the world and I would love to see what becomes of it. As far as I've read I can say that I am enthralled by Seiko's circumstances and how lonesome her new situation must be, and I'm curious about what her place in this world will be.
    Grammar: No issues, well written.
    Characters: The cast is large, but there are lots of mysteries in each of the characters waiting to be discovered by Seiko. Seiko herself is a big mystery, as the voices she hears are quite concerning and they inspire questions within the reader as well.
    Overall, I'd say this has the makings of a great tale and I think anyone interested in Japanese mythology and fantasy should give this a read.
