Description

Can one girl save a nation?

With Japan’s future in the balance, Risuko may recover the Kano clan’s honor — or she may destroy it forever

Kano Murasaki (called Risuko), Emi, and Toumi are on a mission to the capital. The road is dangerous. The destination is treacherous.  Risuko — the girl who just likes to climb — must make a choice that will have repercussions not only for Risuko’s life and those of her friends, but possibly for all of Japan.

In this thrilling third book in the Seasons of the Sword, she encounters old friends, new enemies, and a strange boy from a far-off land called Portugal. Through raging battles and deadly court intrigue, Risuko must follow a path narrower and less stable than any pine branch. And the consequences should she fail are sharp and hard as rocks below.

The red-and-white disguise of the kunoichi awaits.

Is Risuko ready?
