Kimiko has been raised in two traditions. From her father came the discipline and honor of the samurai. From her mother came adaptability, stealth, and the skills of a warrior who could move unseen.

When a dangerous threat reaches beyond what an open blade can solve, Kimiko is forced to put both forms of training to the test. What begins as a challenge becomes a defining choice, one that will determine not only how she fights, but the path she will follow for years to come.

Before she became the lone warrior who moved through the shadows, Kimiko had to decide what kind of warrior she wanted to become.
