(0 review)

A YA adventure battle series inspired by Samurai featuring a strong female character? YES, PLEASE! Samurai Girl by Carrie Asai is the perfect series for fans of Young Samurai books, the Red Winter Trilogy and A Mortal Song. Ninja and Samurai adventures await...

The only think Heaven Kogo knows about herself is that she's the sole survivor of a tragic plane crash in Japan, that she was adopted by her wealthy parents on the West Coast of the United States, that she is nineteen and that she is promised to marry Teddy Yukemura.

But on her wedding day, a ninja crashes her wedding and tragedy strikes again: her brother is brutally killed. And so begins Heaven's journey, as the life she knows unravels lie after lie...beginning with her family.

Heaven will have to grow up, and grow up quickly, to survive the mouse-and-cat hunt that awaits. She will have to toughen up to survive, and do everything she can to not be killed. On the dangerous journey from LA to Las Vegas and all the way back to Japan, she will lose EVERYTHING, including herself... until she finally discovers the truth of her mysterious past, her biological parents and the person hunting her.

Heaven Kogo is dead, and from her ashes arises SAMURAI GIRL. And a samurai girl always fights until the very end...

This is a fast-paced, high stakes adventure series inspired by Japanese legends that has captivated readers. In 2008, the books were also made into an ABC mini-series starring Jamie Chung, Brendan Fehr, and Stacy Keibler.
