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...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Axie Oh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250853087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250853080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feiwel \u0026amp; Friends\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 1.00d","brand":"Axie Oh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46135971086591,"sku":"9781250853080","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83d96d2b-04dc-4187-825d-214d1befee2d.jpg?v=1726415312","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-floating-world-axie-oh-9781250853080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
