"Asora: The Sword of Barra" introduces readers to Jason Phoenix, a young boy whose life in London is dramatically altered by an attack from winged beasts. He is subsequently transported to the world of Asora, where he undergoes rigorous training to become a 'Heart'. A Heart's duty is to uphold honor and protect all people. To successfully navigate the demanding and perilous trials, Jason must collaborate with five individuals who are more inclined to conflict amongst themselves than to confront the monsters threatening their world.
