Mariko has always known that being a woman means she's not in control of her own fate. But Mariko is the daughter of a prominent samurai and a cunning alchemist in her own right, and she refuses to be ignored. When she is ambushed by a group of bandits known as the Black Clan enroute to a political marriage to Minamoto Raiden - the emperor's son - Mariko realises she has two choices: she can wait to be rescued... or she can take matters into her own hands, hunt down the clan and find the person who wants her dead.

Disguising herself as a peasant boy, Mariko infiltrates the Black Clan's hideout and befriends their leader, the rebel ronin Ranmaru, and his second-in-command, Okami. Ranmaru and Okami warm to Mariko, impressed by her intellect and ingenuity. But as Mariko gets closer to the Black Clan, she uncovers a dark history of secrets that will force her to question everything she's ever known.

Esperava mais

A história é rápida de ler, embora fique mais na mente dos personagens do que nas suas interações. Traz alguns mistérios interessantes e o plot twist também foi surpreendente. Mas o problema é que não foi um livro com o qual eu tenha me empolgado. Foi bom para passar o tempo, mas não trouxe a mesma emoção que The Wrath and the Dawn.
