And thus starts our story. In the middle of this - lets call it tournament - we have a couple (like in all tragedies they come from opposing families) that tries through love to join the clans. But with all of the century old grudges this looks like an impossible mission (especially touching was the first chapter involving two old masters of the opposing clans as they leave the meeting Tokugawa).
Ninjas in this story are not your historical ninjas but supernatural warriors with incredible skills. In that regard story reminds of Chinese wuxia. Action is non-stop but I especially liked approach to the characters and plotting. The way how clans gain edge over the others is just great twist. And what I found very interesting is that in this clan to clan warfare people die and they dont return. Volume #1 starts with the bang, puts us directly in the center of the conflict and ends with quite the cliffhanger. I didn't have a straight forward favorite here, because these are assassin clans doing some pretty nasty stuff for people in power and ready to do whatever is necessary to defeat the other competitors. Characters are very good, their motives and stands more than clear. I am truly looking for the next volume in the series.
