Calastan (Book 1)
Each person has a distinct trait that's either held in reserve or
pursued without inhibitions. For reasons that vary, the latter may seem
an egotistic act. However, not for Jein. Taking a path other than the

features a young girl who deals with her individuality in admirably
different ways. It tells a story of how she accomplishes exceptional
feats in a world that draws an unyielding line between men and women.
Follow Jein Kyominias, a girl who does not entertain the established
roles other females of the upper class take in her land. Her rearing in a
