Silk & Shadow

Description

Orphaned at birth, a genius weaver must untangle a web of deceits to discover her people. 

These things are more than they appear: 

Ansei, a rootless gardener with a life-saving touch; 

Madame Sato, a noblewoman and kitsuke artist who would fashion Furi after the image of her dead daughter;

The princess of a figurehead emperor with treasonous loyalties; 

A plague with a mysterious dead count; and 

Rumors of war with an unknowable aggressor. 

Silk & Shadow is a speculative novel with a second generation twist on traditional Tanabata star-crossed romance folklore and a splash of psychological suspence.
