Akai Kiba: Blue Sonnet

Set in the gritty streets of East Harlem, New York, in 1980, sixteen-year-old Sonnet Barge is burdened with an inexplicable and mysterious power. Unusual accidents constantly seem to follow her, alienating those around her and leaving her completely ostracized by society. Cast out and devoid of any support system, she is ultimately forced into a desperate life of prostitution just to survive her harsh reality. However, Sonnet’s hidden abilities do not go unnoticed. Talon, a clandestine organization harboring ambitions of global conquest, recognizes the true potential of her strange powers and takes a keen interest in her. Drawn into their dangerous orbit, Sonnet finds herself thrust into a much larger conflict than she ever imagined. Her involvement sets her on a collision course with Ran, the formidable heiress carrying the bloodline of ancient superhumans. As these two extraordinary young women are pitted against one another, Sonnet must navigate a treacherous battle that will determine far more than just her own fate.
