An ex-soldier, he can remember little of his life from before two years ago, when he woke up alone with only his name and his sword. Now he does odd-jobs to scrape by, until he comes across the score of a lifetime--a chest of coins for any mercenary who can hunt down a girl who wields silver light. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, far to the east, Ren is a cheerful and spirited acrobat traveling with her adoptive family and performing at villages. But everything changes during one of their festival performances when the village is attacked by a horrific humanlike demon. In a moment of fear and rage, Ren releases a blast of silver light--a power she has kept hidden since childhood--and kills the monster. But her efforts are not in time to prevent her adoptive family from suffering a devastating loss, or to save her beloved uncle from being grievously wounded. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDetermined to save him from succumbing to the poisoned wound, Ren sets off over the mountains, where the creature came from--and from where Ren herself fled ten years ago. Her path sets her on a collision course with Sunho, but he doesn't realize she's the girl that he--and a hundred other swords-for-hire--is looking for. As the two grow closer through their travels, they come to realize that their pasts--and destinies--are far more entwined than either of them could have imagined... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for The Floating World: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Floating World\u003c\/i\u003e has everything I love in a fantasy story: A grand adventure that perfectly balances romance and humor, set in a uniquely magical world. ...
