A troubled woman searches out an exiled samurai from the imperial court to teach her the ways of the warrior so she can gain vengeance on the people who destroyed her life. She finds a broken man with no desire for a student or a quest for revenge. Together, they will learn from each other and heal themselves. A great novel of realistic fantasy. A little fast-moving at the end, but still great. This should have been a series instead of just one book.
