Masane Amaha is a woman on the fringe of society, but her strange destiny was written long ago. She exists as a soul with no memory, bouncing rootless from town to town with her young daughter, Rihoko.

Masane's new life as the indentured lethal arm of the Doji Group is wrought with peril, but there are perks as well.

Enter the Cloneblades: Bioengineering and shattered corporate alliances at their best. Having created a breed of powerful woman warriors, confrontation is inevitable when so many desire the same thing - ultimate power.

Masane has been ravaged in her first real bought with her clone contemporaries. Rescued from certain death by the Doji Group, she is whisked away as her savage assailant makes chase, blood lust unquenched.

Despite rigorous testing, sister Shiori's psyche is falling apart and the deviant Cloneblade is now on the loose, a lethal threat on a bloody rampage.

Masane and Tozawa have come to a standstill in their standoff, and in the absence true friendship seems to be blooming. Little Rihoko has also found a new friend? A couple of new friends, actually.

Masane is struggling beneath the weight of forced duality, and the weight of a massive hangover! But she totally loses her cool when little Rihoko falls ill.

Takayama struggles to maintain the upper hand against his rival, Wado, and Tozawa digs up all the dirt he can on Father. Meanwhile, the Cloneblade project may have goals more sinister than mere profit.
