White Robes: A Kunoichi Tale
Sobre aquest llibre
And its soldiers wear silk robes
Lady Mochizuki Chiyome is mired in grief. Recently widowed by Japan’s endless civil war, she has become tired of mourning, tired of wearing the white robes that are the traditional Japanese garb of grief. On the road, she encounters two young women who open her eyes to a whole new purpose in life — and a new way to end Japan's century of bloodshed.
(Historical adventure short story.)
