Packed with tension, pace and thrilling adventure set in 13th century Japan this is an epic in sweep and alive with memorable characters. Kimi and Hana are sisters and unlike other girls are able, like samurai to make themselves invisible. Since their father's death they have trodden the path of the warrior for they are being hunted by their father's killer. It's a path full of hardship, danger and possible death.
Here's a taster from the prologue to get you hooked:
