Opis

Sixteen-year-old Taka Yamabuki, royal by birth, but samurai by training, embarks upon her first mission: to deliver important dispatches to the capital. Untested and traveling alone, Yamabuki enters a world that is a vivid tapestry of natural beauty, unusual characters, unexpected friendships, and indiscriminate brutality and violence. But unbeknown to her, a ninja assassin is on her trail. And before she knows it, her life hangs in the balance. A lyrical tale of adventure, young love, and self-discovery, Cold Blood brings alive the experience of a young woman warrior in 12th-century Japan.

A samurai destined for greatness embarks on her first mission.In ancient Japan, a land of stunning beauty and unspeakable brutality, when the gods of nature walked among mortals, a warlord's only daughter -- Yamabuki -- trained since childhood as a samurai, must travel through realms controlled by rival factions on a mission known only to her father.Veiled in the guise of an ordinary warrior, not even revealing that she is female, she crosses the water between two great isles, only to find the passengers are not who they seem. Some want her dead. Others want her because she's a woman. She must fight for her honor, her duty, and her clan. Blood will be spilled before it is over.
