Bye Bye, Earth

In a world where every person carries animal traits, Belle Lablac stands apart because she was born without fur, horns, wings, or any other such feature. Unable to understand why she is different from everyone else, she leaves home in search of her origins and a place that might explain her existence.

Belle carries the enormous sword Runding and trains under the swordsman Sian before earning the status of Nomad, a path that places her outside ordinary allegiances. Her journey crosses kingdoms and unfamiliar laws while revealing that the difference which made her lonely may be connected to deeper truths about the world. To find somewhere she belongs, Belle may first need to accept that she was never meant to belong in the way others expect.
