About this ebook
As regional warlords divide Japan, one rogue Samurai will sacrifice everything—apart from his honor—in this thrilling sixth-century epic.
Japan, 1532. In the Age of the Warring States, nothing is as it appears. The young Emperor, Go-Nara, has been reduced to ceremonial irrelevance. After a failed assassination attempt on the royal figurehead, an anonymous samurai is coerced into a suicide mission that will test his skills to the limit. He must face this challenge for the sake of his young charge, a girl who is the last remainder of his duty.
The samurai and the girl must journey to a far and impregnable mountain fortress, fighting off threats and dangers on the way. The girl, knowing no other life, hopes to learn all she can of the ways of the warrior. But they do not travel alone. The hunters are also the hunted.
