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.
