The Shinobi Conspiracy at Izu Harbor
A legendary samurai warrior. A powerful warlord. A skilled assassin. A woman of deceitful power. Their stories collide in this epic tale of ancient Japan, during the bloodiest feudal era in history. Thousands of dead are heaped high at Osaka Castle. The Tokugawa shogunate has control over the Emperor, and thus the whole Empire. And now, war has come to Izu Province.
Lord Ishimoto has returned home to Izu , but all is not as it once was. Earthquakes and tsunamis have wreaked havoc on the land, the peasants are losing faith in their lords, and old enemies crowd around him. All while a shadowy figure enters his harbor home.
Omi is a shinobi. A ninja. Trained since childhood to penetrate the thickest walls, to kill with his hands, and to melt into shadow. Midori is a kunoichi, a female shinobi, well versed in poisons and deception, and is posing as a humble servant in Lord Ishimoto's home. And now comes the greatest sword duelist who ever lived--Miyamoto Musashi--to test his skills at the end of his life. All of them will have a part to play in this, Japan's greatest war.
Swords sing and the arrows fly as war comes to Izu Province...and the shadows are always moving.

Fantastic historical fiction in a place and time few know about. The detail, characters and scenes bring you to someplace fascinating, captivating and intense. Wish there was more out there like this.

So complicated,utterly believable!
I loved the twists and turns, the complex issues and the use of two languages to describe a seemingly lost culture! Do it again!
