Jenkins, Lauren (TTh) Yona of the Dawn 50
Yona of the Dawn follows princess Yona in the Kingdom of Kouka. Yona is never allowed to leave the royal palace due to her father's overbearing fear of violence. Her only friends are her cousin Soo-Won, and bodyguard Hak, whom she grew up with. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Yona decides to beg her father, King Il, to let her marry Soo-Won since he is the only person she has ever loved. Unfortunately, upon entering Il's room, she finds him run through the heart with a sword, and on the other end of it is Soo-Won himself. After killing Il, and usurping the throne, Soo-Won tries to then kill Yona, but Hak saves her at the last minute. Now Yona and Hak are on the run and trying to find the four legendary Dragon Warriors in order to reclaim her throne.
