Raven's Sword — Adam Baker

In this medieval adventure, a female warrior must prove herself as a samurai to survive during the Warring States period in Japan.

 


For the Samurai, death is not to be feared. It is to be embraced.


 


Japan 1533 -- A nation in turmoil. Rival warlords battle for supremacy while common folk struggle to survive in a land laid waste by endless war.


 


Tengu, an orphaned girl, must navigate the lawless hinterlands if she is to survive and achieve her ambition to become a master swordswoman.


 


Rejected by every school of martial skill, she joins samurai from northern Japan as they converge on a river shrine to take part in a savage tournament, a death-match from which only one can emerge victorious.


 


Will she survive the gladiatorial combat? Or will she meet a bloody end on the arena floor?
