Can one girl survive?

An easy mission promises to be Risuko’s last

Accompanying a noblewoman to her wedding should be a simple assignment — until Risuko, Emi, and Toumi realize someone wants the bride dead. If they can’t unite Japan’s most powerful clans through marriage, the empire may endure another century of bloodshed. And there’s nothing they won’t do to ensure the ceremony proceeds…

Because Risuko and her friends aren’t just lady’s maids. They are kunoichi.

Trained spies, assassins—and in this case, bodyguards.

Along the way, they must confront hidden enemies and uncover who is behind the plot. Risuko must confront the ghosts of her past to become, finally, herself.

Read a sneak preview of the opening chapters!
