Steel and Vengeance
A Daughters of Wars Novel - Book One
Japan, 1867.
The Shogunate is splintering. The Emperor rises. The old ways are bleeding out-and with them, everything once sacred.
Far from the capital, in the shadow of a forgotten lake, lies Kasumigaura, a fictional village where the world still breathes in sword strokes and silence. It's here the Hayashi sisters are raised-not as ornaments, but as weapons.
Sumiko, the eldest, speaks only with her eyes and her blade.
Misako, the middle, is fire-sharp, wild, unyielding.
Aiko, the youngest, walks softly but never blindly. Every step she takes is calculated. Every arrow she looses, deliberate.
Their father, once a retainer of Aizu, turned his back on politics to raise his daughters in peace-isolated, disciplined, invisible. But history doesn't care about peace. And neither does war.
When men in imperial uniforms arrive at their gates under false pretenses, it doesn't take long for steel to unsheathe.
By morning, Kasumigaura is scarred. Smoke coils in the sky.
And Aiko is gone.
What follows is the breaking of everything they believed in.
A search becomes a reckoning.
Honor turns to vengeance.
And the sisters-once daughters of a hidden samurai-are forced to choose between what they were taught... and what must now be done.
