Spider: A Japanese Historical Fiction Novel
About this ebook
Departing Edo to rescue a former love, Keiko sacrifices her hard-won status and vows to return, unaware of the cruel twists fate has in store.
In the distant city of Kobe, Keiko seeks solace, hoping to shed her samurai identity and embrace a life of freedom. Yet, the code of bushido, like a spider's web, ensnares her, refusing to let go.
As she forges new connections and dreams in Kobe's embrace, Keiko finds herself torn between love and honor. The tantalizing prospect of a different life clashes with the relentless call of duty, leaving her to grapple with an impossible choice.
Spider spins a captivating tale of inner conflict, resilience, and the enduring struggle between the heart's longing and the demands of honor in the world of the samurai.
