In feudal Japan, orphan Kata was not attractive enough to become a courtesan so she was grateful that Madame Chiyome chose her to train as a ‘deadly flower’—a ninja. Now, at fifteen, Kata’s first mission is to assassinate someone in the warlord’s castle…. Nonstop action, interesting characters, and a journey into another time and culture make this novel worthy…’ — VOYA Magazine
Kata is a “deadly flower,” a trained ninja who works alone and can take care of herself. She is fully prepared for her first solo assignment, until she learns she is to be an assassin…. The story unfolds with many twists and turns that keep readers intrigued… a great combination of adventure, fantasy, and horror, with two strong heroines who form an unlikely alliance. A great story that is perfect for readers who are interested in ninjas and other warriors.’ — School Library Journal
