Welcome to the Bican Continents—the age of steam fleets, imperial ambitions, and sea raiding.
At the very heart of the intercontinental sea, on the archipelago between two great powers, a tiny but brave and excellently armed pirate republic has held its ground for one hundred and fifty years. Repelling any attempt at invasion, it instills fear in the entire sea route between the continents.
After the death of his beloved wife, the captain of a merchant ship, Jack Siniyma, decides not to be tied to marriage anymore and dedicates his life to his only daughter—Agniya—raising her the way a son and heir would be raised. Agniya is eighteen; she is sure that one day she will stand at the captain’s bridge of the “Orca,” but her youth and trusting nature still don’t allow her to understand how cruel and dangerous the world around her is—and what wild future fate has prepared for her.
Watch on the pages of “Lightning” as Agniya goes from an ordinary girl to a formidable leader of pirates.
