Ashes of Yōtei: A Vengeful Path

By Kai A. Rivers

When honor dies, only vengeance remains.

In the frozen wilderness of Ezo, Atsu walks a path carved in blood and fire. Sixteen years ago, her village was reduced to ash by the ruthless Yōtei Six-a band of merciless warriors whose cruelty left her family dead and her spirit scarred. From the wreckage, Atsu rose not as a samurai bound by honor, but as a predator fueled by rage, wielding twin blades that defy tradition and proclaim her defiance of the old ways.

Her quest begins with a single clue-a bounty notice bearing the mark of "The Snake," a symbol tied to one of the Six. From the snowy mountain passes to the lawless docks of Hakodate, Atsu descends into a world of corrupt merchants, hidden networks, and enemies who thrive in shadows. Every step forward brings her closer to the faces that haunt her dreams-yet further from the redemption her soul secretly craves.

Ashes of Yōtei: A Vengeful Path is a tale of survival, betrayal, and relentless justice. Blending the stark beauty of Japanese folklore with the brutal elegance of a revenge saga, Kai A. Rivers crafts an atmospheric journey where steel and spirit collide.

In a land torn between honor and survival, can vengeance ever quench the fire of loss-or will Atsu's fury consume her before she reaches the end of her path?
