Rachel is an ordinary highschool girl until she gets a pair of magical katana from her mysterious teacher. While testing out their new powers, Rachel and her friends become lost on another world. A world full of dangerous warriors, ghostly animals and ruthless dragons. Alone, lost and without provisions, Rachel must find her way back to Earth. She must master TechMagic, a strangely addictive magic based on stances in her karate and kendo training. But there are other powers in the universe and many would subvert Rachel's companions. Her own swords have a possible connection to this Shadow Magic. Rachel must come to deal with all this, or risk dying on a distant and alien world
Rachel Goldenstein continues to lead her group home, but perhaps Earth isn't as safe as she had thought. It is a time for the newly appointed Lady Goldensword to command armies. A time to forge new alliances and to make war against the children of magic. There will be great loss for Rachel... and perhaps a chance to learn the terrible truth behind her shadow magic. “By the light of the gates, she saw her adversaries rise, bearing magical swords and staves. Rachel set down her candle stand and drew her swords. Somewhere, during the skirmish that followed, a flying, severed leg almost toppled her candle stand. She put out a hand to steady it. Some, the less hardy of them, fled at the sight of her. Ever afterwards, there would be a legend of a ghost in a torn white dress drenched in red blood, with crimson hair and a devilish grin. It was a world that could never be the same. A world that a woman would boldly change.”
They call us many things. Mind Rakers. Tele-Creepos. Thought Police. Words of scorn. Words from the throne, backed by steam airships and goliath mechanoids. Yet, I have hidden, and I won't be controlled. I will live a normal life like any fellow serf–even if fluorine power is in short supply, and riots plague my city while our leaders do nothing. But does a normal life want me? I don't quite get on in school, or with my peers. Have I reached too high above my station or spoken my secrets to the wrong pairs of ears? Sometimes I think I'm drowning. At times I want to quit. Can I survive this madness? I think I'm just unfit

They call him the Destroyer of Worlds. His army is known as the Angels of Destruction. He is Kajo Blue, the boy that the chronomancers wanted dead at all costs. He is the timeless-one; one whose birth historians can only guess at. His aims remain inscrutable. His very hand changes galaxies. Herein lies the story of the boy-turned-emperor. The one who would cause millions to suffer. The leader who could reshape the universe. The man whose greatest enemy is compassion. This is the story of the Legend of the Blue.
For over a thousand years, a powerful oligarchy known as the Worldwide Order of Lightnings has oppressed us. With the help of the prying eyes of their pet chronomancers, the Lightnings have torn us from our homes... have forced us to do their bidding... have stripped us of our rights... even our names. I have spent my life in hiding. Please understand that an unrated telepath like me is a commodity, not a person. If it's not the thought-police come to call on me, it's the Lightnings, or worse, a suitor who won't accept no as an answer. Peace. Security. Love. They all elude me. When I manage to grasp any of them in my shaking hands, they are all but snatched away by outside powers beyond my control. My heart groans with black tears from all this folly. Madness to resist. Yet, eternal torment to fail.
The Chronicles of Kwan follows the struggle of one young woman for liberty from the shadow of the Coalition of Lightnings. Freedom not just for herself, but for all her fellow serfs in Hillvale demesne. “I feel a suffocating cloud of dread overcome the tiny group. My aura hovers among the students here in my home. It stands tall against them, a cloud-high column of sunshine and fire that envelops the entire building. Theatrics? No. Not even a whirlwind of strength and power can save them. The wheels of the rebellion will not be easily slowed. We are too many to be silenced. We will not be stopped... not even by death.”
