Blade in the Snow: The winds of love blow cold with change...

By Aaron Pinsky

Shun Miyamoto is the prodigal son of one of the Emperor's staunchest supporters on modernizing Japan as the Bakumatsu Era draws a close. As both a scholar and a warrior, the young man believes that the key to Japan's success is through cooperation with the Western world: a notion that made him a target for assassination. But instead of killing Shun, the assassin fell in love with him, abandoning her duty as a killer to become the honorary daughter-in-law of the Miyamoto house. But in order for the two of them to be wed, Shun must subjugate her former clan: the fearsome "Black Sun" whose ranks can only be described as superhuman. Not only that, but Shun must also contend with the infamous Oliver "Loverman" Lacey, a vicious gunslinging outlaw from America, who shares a common history with the young Miyamoto: both of them have the same kiss-shaped scar branded on their body...Combining romance, action, samurai fiction, westerns, and fantasy, "Blade in the Snow" promises to excite, intrigue, and plunge the reader into a world where the old ways of swordfights and magic transition into the world of guns and science, as well as a young couple's quest to find happiness even when circumstances try to tear them apart.
