Tomoe Gozen: Blade Of The Rising Sun (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798313646145)

Japan, late Heian period.

In the mountains of the Kiso province, Tomoe Gozen grows up in a household where the sword is as important as the spoken word. Her father, convinced that his daughter possesses the same strength as any warrior, trains her in the art of war, preparing her for a destiny shaped by conflict.

At the service of her lord, Kiso Yoshinaka, Tomoe joins the war between the Minamoto (Genji) and Taira (Heike) clans-a conflict that will determine the future of the country. Her skill and bravery on the battlefield earn her a place of honor among the soldiers, but they also stir resentment in a world ruled by men.

As the war progresses, Tomoe and Yoshinaka find themselves caught between fragile alliances and enemies closing in. A forbidden bond grows between them-a love that can never be. On the horizon, betrayal looms, and the weight of duty threatens to crush them both.

At the Battle of Awazu, Tomoe rides alongside her lord for the last time, knowing that fate will grant them no other chance. There, beneath the gray skies of war, she will face her ultimate trial-one that will decide whether her name fades into oblivion or lives on forever in history.

Tomoe Gozen: Blade of the Risng Sun is a tale of honor and sacrifice, where war is not only fought on the battlefield but also within the hearts of those who live it.
