Blade's Edge

Written by Virginia McClain

Narrated by Virginia McClain

Two friends. 

Two forbidden powers. 

One chance to change everything.

When Mishi is taken from her orphanage home, she fears she'll never see her best friend Taka again. And when Taka is taken to the infamous Josankō that same day, it seems as if more than distance will keep them apart.

Suddenly alone in their fight to survive, each girl must come to terms with her true nature—Mishi as warrior, Taka as healer. Years after their separation, the girls’ journeys lead them each to uncover the horrifying secret that the Rōjū council has spent centuries killing to keep.

Now the Rōjū council wants Taka and Mishi dead and they'll have only one chance to save their people.

How much will Mishi and Taka sacrifice in order to protect all they hold dear?

Virginia McClain

Virginia McClain is an author who masqueraded as a language teacher for a decade or so. When she's not reading or writing she can generally be found playing outside with her four legged adventure buddy and the tiny human she helped to build from scratch. She enjoys climbing to the top of tall rocks, running through deserts, mountains, and woodlands, and carrying a foldable home on her back whenever she gets a chance. She's also fond of word games, and writing descriptions of herself that are needlessly vague.

Reviews for Blade's Edge

[Jedediah Scott · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Not necessarily a genre I thought I would enjoy but must admit that once I started listening I almost couldn't wait until I could listen some more. The author does a phenomenal job creating characters with depth and that grab your emotions pretty much from the very beginning. I won't go into great details about the book, even though I almost thought Taka was going to be like Princess Mononoke, but she wasn't. :)
