Sword of Compassion

He protects her.

His mother wants her dead....

Living in the human world is difficult for Shou. She wants nothing more than to remain in the life she is building with Marasu, heir to the Date clan.  Shou's feelings grow beyond just the need to repay him for all he's done for her.  But like the kami that she knows so well, power struggles exist among the humans.  Crossing Lady Date is a grave mistake.

With the secret of her lineage at risk, Shou must rid herself of her disguise to survive her vindictive family's next attempt on her life.  Doing so is harder than she ever imagined.  Now, it's up to Shou to battle the politics of the human world.  But will she prevail when the gods also throw another deadly challenge her way?
