Description
Book 2, Sequel to "The Concubine's Apprentice" "Are you done?" Her blood ran cold as she realized she wasn't alone. She looked up and through the reflection, she saw the source of her suffering, the bane of her existence. Her mentor. "Yes. I am. I quit." She said each word slowly, venomously. The other woman laughed as she took another long hit from her pipe. "You can't quit. None of us can." The Hundred Year War is over, but peace continues to elude them. Many trials still await them, and the crossroads of destiny is at the horizon. And as Chiyo stands at the edge of the precipice, she must make the choice that will decide their future forever. Will she take the leap, or will she keep straight and true to her path? I do not own any of the characters except for the OCs I've introduced. Any historical details I impart on this story is not entirely accurate and based only on my limited knowledge of the subject. This is the second book in the trilogy, the sequel to The Concubine's Apprentice. Expect more mature themes in this book compared to the first, reader's discretion is advised. As always, I hope you enjoy it!
