Future Assassin's Blade

Future Assassin's Blade is the fourth book of the Quiet After the Hurricane series. It was written by digitaldreams0801. The story is the prequel to the rest of the books of the series, going back to the first cases of Cotoli Morix from five years before in which the Under Cover Assassin got its start.

1) Turnabout on Ice
Venus Rinko is arrested for murder and new attorney Cotoli Morix and the defendant's sisters, Cassidy and Yuri Rinko, try to free her. This proves to be a difficult task when they find that their only witness is blind, the culprit refuses to leave them be during their investigation, and the killer even threatens to do evil further before escaping.

2) The Performers' Turnabout
Cassidy finds herself in jail for murder, prompting Cotoli and his younger sister, Chrysalis Starr, to help her get the not guilty. With assistance from Ghastly Bespoke, a prosecutor who seems to have an affinity for Cotoli, they try to prove her innocence, though things turn sour when a relative of a witness is the prime suspect.

3) Turnabout Tumble
Kira Galle, a young gymnast, is arrested. Cotoli, Chrysalis, Venus, Yuri, Cassidy, Ghastly, and new figure Sara Lin work together to show that she isn't the culprit. Soon after the investigation begins, a kidnapping occurs, and somebody close to the protagonists is one of the two disappeared people, who is at the mercy of a serial murderer.

4) The Egotistical Turnabout (LY-2 Incident)
Three years before the other cases, Sara is accused of killing Jay Yang and Tora Yin, the defense and prosecution behind the murder of her mother. Cotoli and Chrysalis intercept the arrest and, with help from Toby and Mukuro Erikson, they show that the culprit was the defendant from the trial, who was using shady means to get the not guilty.

5) Turnabout Factory (GC-9 Incident)
Cotoli's mother is killed and Ghastly is arrested for murder, attempted murder, and two assaults. Polly Bloom and Anton Burke appear for the first time to help him get a not guilty. Not only do they show up, but a mysterious attorney with even more cryptic intentions appears with the wish to protect his younger sister from the killers, who show themselves to be assassins.

Main Characters
Cotoli Morix-A new lawyer and the main character. He just passed the bar exam and is taking on his first series of cases, not knowing the dark truth that hides behind each and every case. He's also Chrysalis' older brother.

Ghastly Bespoke-A prosecutor and Cotoli's rival. He's significantly more experienced than Cotoli, though he doesn't take his job as seriously as he should, ending up accused of murder near the end of the book for messing with evidence.

Venus Rinko-The eldest of the three Rinko sisters and Cotoli's partner. She first finds herself arrested during the first case, though afterwards she becomes close friends with the rest of the main characters, acting somewhat motherly to her sisters and Chrysalis.

Cassidy Rinko-The middle Rinko sister and Ghastly's assistant. She is the most sensitive out of all of the main characters, which lands her in the defendant's chair during the second case. She ends up as a key witness during the final case thanks to Pieter.

Yuri Rinko-The youngest Rinko sister and a helper of Cotoli. She helps out the defense during the book numerous times, though she gets into trouble during the final case and suffers from amnesia, where all memories she has of the book's events are erased.

Chrysalis Starr-Cotoli's younger sister and a defense assistant. She plays the role of a main investigator until an incident in the final case leaves her unable to look into the case. She is soon revealed to have ties to attorney Pieter Fury who tells Chrysalis of her dark involvement in a murder, where she starts the Oracle of the Law project.

Sara Lin-An old friend of Cotoli and Chrysalis and a prosecution assistant. She acts as Ghastly's second helper alongside Cassidy. She is accused of murder during the fourth case, which gave her split personality disorder. Sara later becomes involved with a project at S.P.A.R.X. Factory, where she changes her name to Sora.

Pieter Fury-A mysterious attorney who appears in the final case to protect Chrysalis. During the final case, he unveils that he is Chrysalis and Cotoli's brother through Cotoli's deceased mother, who took him in after a brutal attack from the newly founded Under Cover Assassin.

Polly Bloom-The prosecutor of the final case and an old friend of Ghastly's. While she acts emotionless during the case, she deep down wants to save her friend from being convicted. She also acts as the guardian of Anton Burke, being his adopted mother.

Anton Burke-Polly's adopted son and Ghastly's friend. He helps out in the finale case to save Ghastly from being sent to jail for killing Cotoli's mother and attacking Yuri, Chrysalis, and Sara (soon to be Sora). He's rather sensitive.

Toby Erikson-A detective with a secret history with Chrysalis and Cotoli. He helps the two of them prove the innocence of Sara when she is nearly arrested for a trio of murder. He leaves after commenting that he hopes to meet Cotoli again one day.

Mukuro Erikson-Toby's daughter and a detective in training. In case four, she and Chrysalis hit it off instantly and begin to chat about the case, though they end up getting the suspect to leave the investigation site on multiple occasions, though she chases the killer later in an attempt to catch him, only to fail.

Summary
Two years before the first book of the series, Cotoli Morix is just another rookie lawyer: new, inexperienced, and not exactly 'faithful' in his skills as an attorney. But the second a murder is announced, all of that begins him on his journey to becoming the owner of Morix Law Offices. Though unknown to Cotoli and his companions, Venus, Cassidy, Ghastly, and Chrysalis, every case that they solve brings them closer to the disaster of the forming of the assassination group known as the Under Cover Assassin, or UCA. They're also being pulled into the inescapable truth of the Oracle of the Law project forging itself as well. Disaster is around ever corner, and it's up to our five heroes to lay it to rest.

Because they're seeing the forming of a future assassin's blade.
