Sixteen-year-old Taka Yamabuki, royal by birth but samurai by training, embarks upon her first mission: to deliver important dispatches to the capital. Untested and traveling alone, Yamabuki enters a world that is a vivid tapestry of natural beauty, unusual characters, unexpected friendships, and indiscriminate brutality and violence. But unbeknown to her, a ninja assassin is on her trail. And before she knows it, her life hangs in the balance. A lyrical tale of adventure, young love, and self-discovery, Cold Blood brings alive the experience of a young woman warrior in 12th-century Japan.

Autorenporträt
For several years, Katherine M. Lawrence has been researching and writing the adventures of Yamabuki, an actual historic female samurai who lived in the Heian Era of Japan. Inspired by several decades in the martial arts halls led by women -- Ja Shin Do, the San Jose State University Kendo Club, and Pai Lum White Lotus Fist-Crane style -- Katherine set out to write about the experiences of women who train in warriors skills...and Yamabuki in particular. Katherine graduated from the University of Washington with a BA degree in both History and Chemistry, and continued with work on a Masters in History at the Far Eastern and Slavic Institute. She also received an MBA from Harvard University.
