A Shadow’s Calling

 The Price of Darkness

 Kimiko was raised to follow the way of the samurai. Discipline, honor, and loyalty shaped the warrior she was expected to become. But another path has begun calling to her, one that leads away from the light and into the shadows.

 As a member of the Kyoto Six, Kimiko has allies she trusts and a place where she belongs. Yet with every mission, she finds herself drawn toward a different kind of warrior, one who survives through patience, stealth, and the willingness to act alone. The deeper she ventures into that world, the more natural it feels.

But darkness has a price.

 As Kimiko embraces the life of a ninja, the distance between herself and those closest to her begins to grow. Friendship, laughter, and even the possibility of love become things she may have to leave behind.

 Some paths are chosen. Others have been waiting for you all along.
