“Meet Lady Chiyome's Army of Deadly Blossoms"-Before Risuko Does!
After a century of brutal civil war has torn Japan apart, Lady Mochizuki Chiyome gathers together the most unlikely army imaginable to unite the empire and bring an end to the bloodshed: an army of girls clad in the red and white garb of miko, shrine maidens. An army of kunoichi. Together, these girls work as spies, as bodyguards, as assassins-going where no soldier could go, doing what no soldier could do. Here are six stories of the kunoichi, set before the award-winning “Seasons of the Sword” novels (Risuko and Bright Eyes):
1-“White Robes”-Mired in her own grief, Lady Mochizuki Chiyome encounters two young women who give her a whole new, much more interesting opportunity
2-“Silk & Service”-A young Takeda warrior meets a servant who is much more than she seems
3-“Waiting for Kuniko”-Mieko is waiting at a rendezvous behind enemy lines. In the rain. Without a hat. The person who comes up the road is the last person she expected to encounter.
4-“Wild Mushrooms”-A Hōjō commander is delighted when two pretty young shrine maidens enter his camp on the evening before a battle. Perhaps he shouldn't have been.
5-“Ghost”-At a banquet to celebrate a new alliance, Chiyome contemplates murder, and discovers a new servant
6-“Schools for Talented Youngsters”: Monthly Headmistresses' Dinner-Three unique ladies get together once a month to share the joys and challenges involved teaching young ladies with very particular... talents.
