Kirin Chronicles - Kirin, #1

The young and wealthy Anna was used to marveling at the dark, mysterious, and bustling city across from the gilded walls protecting her section of peace in this world. Born into luxury in a time of chaos, that's all she could do, let her curiosity with the unknown wander and ask the simple questions--wondering what made the world go round beyond the rich city she lived in where order reigned and her parents shielded her from the reality outside pass their protected enclave. So when the opportunity for her to break out of her small protected world came in the form of a mysterious young boy named Kirin, she took it. Wanting to solve a mystery, he offers her a guide to the city in exchange for her assistance.
 Anna agrees, pulled in by his magnetic personality and the bright lights of the bustling metropolis she's never known to exist, but as she enjoys herself in this new and mysterious environment, she quickly comes face to face with the chaos and danger she was protected from--the thieves, murderers, swindlers, conmen, schemers, and madmen that make up these unseen parts of the city-- soon realizing that all of these shady figures were attracted to the young fresh faced boy named Kirin she traveled with.
Now trapped with a stranger and lost in a dangerous part of the city, Anna must find her way out on her own or help the mischievous Kirin solve his mystery with the most criminal characters in the city chasing them both. Story 1: Big World Story 2: Mad Bomber
