The Silver Flame

by James Carter

The Silver Flame shimmers like the fires of hell, and it attracts people who are unafraid to kill: an American samurai on a quest to uncover a secret; a treacherous geisha on a hunt for perfection; and an illustrious thief who craves beauty. But if you live by the sword, you die by the sword, and in the Land of the Rising Sun even a phoenix can feel the touch of death.
