배드 본 블러드 | Issu de sang vulgaire
In a far-future civilization where humanity has long abandoned a dead Earth, interstellar hyperspace travel is routine and cold cybernetic machinery has replaced fragile human flesh and bone. In the filthy, crime-ridden underbelly of the orbital slums, fifteen-year-old Luka has known nothing but starvation, violence, and survival.
When mandatory imperial selection aptitude testing arrives, slum rats are normally discarded as industrial slaves. But Luka tests positive for an unimaginably rare, lethal aptitude: direct qualification for the supreme Imperial Guard. Plunged into a cutthroat military academy of arrogant noble aristocrats, bio-augmented supersoldiers, and ruthless galactic politics, the slum boy with "bad blood" relies on his raw killer instincts to carve a path to the empire's apex.
