Kano: A Kunoichi Tale (Seasons of the Sword)

Can one girl save a nation? With Japan’s future in the balance, Risuko may recover the Kano clan’s honor — or she may destroy it forever Lord Takeda has sent Risuko, Emi, and Toumi on a mission to the capital. The road is dangerous. The destination is treacherous. Risuko — the girl who just likes to climb — must make a choice that will have repercussions not only for Risuko’s life and those of her friends, but possibly for all of Japan. In this thrilling third book in the Seasons of the Sword, she encounters old friends, new enemies, and a strange boy from a far-off land called Portugal. Through raging battles and deadly court intrigue, Risuko must follow a path narrower and less stable than any pine branch. And the consequences should she fail are sharp and hard as rocks below. The red-and-white disguise of the kunoichi awaits. Is Risuko ready? _______ IF YOU RECEIVE A COPY THAT READS “COMING APRIL 30 2024” ON THE COVER In March, two months before the publication date of Kano, Amazon mistakenly and without any authorization from Stillpoint Digital Press distributed “dummy” copies to customers who had pre-ordered the book. What they received was a design concept, with the text replaced by pseudo-Latin gibberish. When customers returned those copies, Amazon then sent them out to new customers. If you have received a copy of this version that Amazon has sent you in error, please do not leave a review. Contact Amazon and have them send you the actual book, which has now been released. Do feel free to go to the website (which is on the back cover of the book) and contact us; we will do what we can to make this better for you. Also, if you can avoid it, please don’t send them back the misprinted copy: they’ll just send it out to someone else. Leaving a negative review here doesn’t hurt Amazon, the ones responsible for these faulty copies, since this is one of over millions titles they sell. It does hurt the author, the publisher, and anyone who might want to read this book but is scared off by negative reviews. We are sorry for your disappointment, but hope that you are as excited by the actual book as we are! Stillpoint Digital Press
