From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn, comes a sweeping, action-packed YA adventure set against the backdrop of Feudal Japan where Mulan meets Throne of Glass.
“[A] fun feudal samurai drama. . .action-packed and well-paced.”—The Washington Post
“If you live for books that have lush worlds, swoony romance and non-stop action, you’ll want to read this.”—Paste Magazine
The daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has long known her place—she may be an accomplished alchemist, whose cunning rivals that of her brother Kenshin, but because she is not a boy, her future has always been out of her hands. At just seventeen years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor's favorite consort—a political marriage that will elevate her family's standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, who she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace.
Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the Black Clan and track down those responsible for the target on her back. Once she's within their ranks, though, Mariko finds for the first time she's appreciated for her intellect and abilities. She even finds herself falling in love—a love that will force her to question everything she's ever known about her family, her purpose, and her deepest desires.

Do you love „Disney's Mulan“ as much as I do? And what about „Robin Hood“? Then you definetly have to read „Flame in the mist“, which has many details from both of them. There is everything a fandom heart could seek.
A strong female protagonist named Mariko, who has a great character developement. Not to forget the other characters like Ranmaru, Okami, Yumi, Yoshi, Ren, Kenshin and I could go on even further, so you see, there is a great amount of characters that are really interesting and awesome. It has an exciting storyline with intrigue, love and, of course, Japan is in its focus.
„Be as swift as the wind. As silent as the forest. As fierce as the fire. As unshakable as the mountain. And you can do anything.“ will be our new iconic lines remembering our loved lines : „we must be swift as the coursing river, (…) with all the force of a great typhoon, (…) with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon“.
A must-read!
