The young ninja Kagetora has been given a great honor—to serve a renowned family of skilled martial artists. But on arrival, he is handed a challenging assignment: teach the heir to the dynasty, the charming but clumsy Yuki, the deft moves of self-defense and combat.

And yet, Yuki`s inability to master the martial arts is not what makes this job so difficult for Kagetora. No, it is Yuki herself. Someday she will inherit her family dojo, and for a ninja like Kagetora, to fall in love with his master is a betrayal of his duty, the ultimate dishonor, and strictly forbidden. Can Kagetora help Yuki overcome her ungainly nature . . . or will he be overcome by his growing feelings? (Source: Del Rey)
