How old are Risuko and the others?

May 30, 2022 Risuko 5 Comments

I’ve been asked many times how old Risuko and the other girls are in the Seasons of the Sword books.

Seasons of the Sword Reviews

Bright Eyes Review:
Once again David Kudler has fully succeeded as a novelist with a genuine flair for historical fiction populated by memorably crafted characters and decidedly entertaining plot twists and turns. Like the first novel in the author’s Seasons of the Sword series, Bright Eyes is imaginative, original, exceptionally well written, and highly recommended.
