This exciting adventure story is set in ancient Japan, with a female ninja warrior at its center, carrying out her mission to protect a magical pearl that shelters a demon.      This exciting adventure story, which is a sequel to Deadly Flowers, involves a female ninja warrior, Kata, whose mission is to guard a magical pearl that harbors a demon. In so doing, she must transport the pearl through unknown lands, facing one danger after another as she encounters other ninjas, thieves, samurai, and monsters. Along the way, she must make many choices: should she rely only on her own ninja skills, as is traditionally expected or accept the help of friends?  Should she use up her last wish even though the price of doing so will unleash a terrible demon upon the world?  The author has done her research into Japanese mythology, and this book will appeal particularly to those students who love all things Japanese.
