The Sword of the Emperor

The Shogun has died, and the Islands are thrown into chaos once again. Only the strong will survive, and though both Gintaro and Yukiana seek to reunite, fate has thrown far greater perils between them. Both constantly wonder, if they ever do meet again, would they even recognize each other, after what they have become?

In this, the second book of the Three Sacred Treasures Trilogy, the warrior Gintaro is given the impossible task of recovering the legendary Sword of the Emperor. This may be the only way for him to guarantee his daughter's life. To do so he must travel to the far north and face off against his most fearsome enemy yet. At the same time, Yukiana, who has just come into her newfound powers, must use them to stop a war that would all but solidify the Prime Consort Ishihara’s power over the Islands.  Time is running out, but in friendship there is hope. Will it be enough to overcome the impending darkness?
