Samurai

The Valiant Series, Book 3

A brave samurai woman, a one-armed Empress, and a dying clan searching for a breakthrough....

War is near, and empress Megumi and samurai Akari cannot trust anyone else to save their clan. While out on a mission, Akari discovers technology she's never seen before in the hands of their enemies. How can they fight against guns and cannons with only swords?

Royal-born Megumi is forced into a position she never wanted, and her disloyal court searches tirelessly for any reason to have her dethroned and killed. How can she lead her people to safety if they won’t accept her?

To defeat the evil forces conspiring against them, Akari and Megumi may have to sacrifice everything they hold dear. Will their loyalty and bravery be enough to defeat a darkness more powerful than they’ve ever seen? Will the darkness defeat their clan?

Or will they destroy themselves?
