The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend--the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, someone is hunting Hana, and her friend has paid the price, leaving her eight-year-old grandson in Hana's care.
