Summary
When the emperor is kidnapped as part of a plot to overthrow the Shogun, fourteen-year-old samurai apprentice Seikei finds himself wrapped up in a dangerous mission to locate the emperor before his sacred sword falls into the wrong hands and all hope is lost.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: When fourteen-year-old samurai apprentice Seikei is sent on a mission by the shogun, he believes it to be a simple one: Convince the 14-year-old emperor to resume his ceremonial duties. But when the emperor is kidnapped in an elaborate plot to overthrow the Shogun, Seikei’s mission grows much more dangerous. With the help of a mysterious warrior, he must rescue the emperor before his sacred sword—said to be unbeatable in battle—falls into the wrong hands. Should he fail, bloodshed will stain the land.
