Cold-Heart-front-cover-1200
All that stands in the way of love is a Cold Heart
Yamabuki, a warlord’s daughter and trained as a samurai, is shadowed by a lapsed priest turned shinobi who vows to avenge the man whom she killed–his lover and teacher.
She is seduced by the handsome and ambitious warlord, Kiso Yoshinaka, whose aim it is to rule all of Japan and before she knows it, she’s drawn into events far bigger than she ever imagined, and must question her loyalties.
Yamabuki balances giri, duty to her clan, against ninjo, human feelings, her passion for the charismatic warlord, and it doesn’t get easier when Tomoe Gozen comes on the scene to tip the scales in the decision.
Action-filled with pitched battled and adventure depicting the samurai life as it was in ancient Japan.
The adventures of Yamabuki continue in this Book Three of Sword of the Taka Samurai.

Available in paperback and Kindle.

Cold Rain: Yamabuki and the Warlord Prince (Sword of the Taka Samurai, , Book Two), by Katherine M. Lawrence

COLD RAIN FRONT COVER rev 20151130
Cold rain washes runnels of blood past her feet.
Having survived her first sword battle and killed a would-be assassin and a sword master, Yamabuki finds herself moving through a different world. Or is it she herself who has changed? Her mother’s words ring in her ears: “You must prevail. That is the only allowable outcome. No one who you can truly trust will be there to offer you solace. It is something you will bear alone.”
And now alone, wary and weary, trapped by an unseasonable snowstorm in a lawless town, Yamabuki tries to bring order and peace back to her life, if only for a night. But all is not what it seems. And others do not seem content to leave her be.
The acclaimed series continues with Book Two of Sword of the Taka Samurai.

Available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook.

A samurai destined for greatness embarks on her first mission. In ancient Japan — a land of stunning beauty and unspeakable brutality, in a time when gods walked among mortals — Yamabuki, a warlord’s only daughter, trained in sword and bow, bears important dispatches to the Imperial Capital. Veiled in the guise of an ordinary warrior, not even revealing that she is female, she travels not as a princess but with the common people, only to find that many are not who they seem. Some want her dead. Others want her because she’s a woman. She must fight for her honor, her duty, and her clan. Blood will be spilled before it is over. The epic saga of Yamabuki’s adventures in the years leading up to the Genpei War and beyond begins here in Book One of Sword of the Taka Samurai.
