Tales of the Dying East: First Day

Tales of the Dying East: First Day chronicles the introduction of a youth offender into the harsh, short life of a Dying East mercenary.

Scion Tactical Academy freshman Guar Nitti has no problems establishing himself at the violent school, but he learns early-on that he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

When a guardian of the anarchistic nation known as Nainten seeks retribution against Guar for the sins of his family, the elite instructors of the Scion Tactical Academy will sacrifice a great deal to save him.

Included in this collection of three Book and Blade stories are two bonus stories: The Lovelorn's Last Sail and Savage Is Style.
