The Samurai’s Secret

Crime

Some secrets are better left where they are…

On the remote Mount Kagemine stands the Mugen dōjō, a place frozen in time, governed by the strict discipline of the katana and the watchful eye of Sensei Kurokawa. The dōjō is the last chance at redemption for troubled thirteen-year-old Takeshi Ito—no family, no future. But this time, Takeshi will face far more than a few harsh rules, because a blood-soaked legend breathes within the forest: a tale tied to a mine and a masterless samurai. Deep within Kagemine lies a secret someone is determined to uncover.
