Sisters of the Sword (Snow)

We held our weapons ready. I felt power humming through my limbs. Kimi and her sister, Hana, disguised themselves as boys to learn the ways of the samurai-and to prepare themselves to take revenge on the uncle who murdered their father and older brothers. After receiving word that their mother and younger brother are alive and in hiding, the sisters set off on a treacherous journey to find them. But giving up is not an option-if they fail, they will lose the last of their family forever. Don't miss any of Kimi and Hana's adventures!

Sometimes a samurai's most dangerous opponent is herself. Ever since their father's murder, Kimi and Hana have honed their fighting skills and prepared for vengeance against their vicious uncle Hidehira. They have become true warriors with the hearts of samurai. Now their fight has become more than just a personal vendetta. As Hidehira's quest for power continues, he is destroying the province and is poised to invade the rest of the kingdom. After both girls are nearly killed in a fire while fighting their uncle's soldiers, their mother insists on attempting to enlist the support of the Shogun. But at the Shogun's court, the sisters are torn apart by their differences, especially when they rediscover an old friend with a shrouded past. Danger lurks in the most elegant circumstances-behind the smiling face of an aristocrat as well as behind the mask of a ninja-and true peril awaits the sisters where they least expect it. . . .
