Steel and Vengeance
A Daughters of Wars Novel – Book One

Japan, 1867.
The Shogunate is splintering. The Emperor rises. The old ways are bleeding out—and with them, everything once sacred.

Far from the capital, in the shadow of a forgotten lake, lies Kasumigaura, a fictional village where the world still breathes in sword strokes and silence. It’s here the Hayashi sisters are raised—not as ornaments, but as weapons.
Trained in war. Schooled in honor. Bound in blood.

Sumiko, the eldest, speaks only with her eyes and her blade.
Misako, the middle, is fire—sharp, wild, unyielding.
Aiko, the youngest, walks softly but never blindly. Every step she takes is calculated. Every arrow she looses, deliberate.

Their father, once a retainer of Aizu, turned his back on politics to raise his daughters in peace—isolated, disciplined, invisible. But history doesn’t care about peace. And neither does war.

When men in imperial uniforms arrive at their gates under false pretenses, it doesn’t take long for steel to unsheathe.
By morning, Kasumigaura is scarred. Smoke coils in the sky.
And Aiko is gone.

What follows is the breaking of everything they believed in.

A search becomes a reckoning.
Honor turns to vengeance.
And the sisters—once daughters of a hidden samurai—are forced to choose between what they were taught… and what must now be done.

🩸 Steel and Vengeance is the first cut—sharp, fast, and deep. At just over 100 pages, it delivers the emotional blow that sets the stage for the full war to come in The Broken Oath—a 500+ page epic where every bond will be tested, every lie exposed, and every blade finally answered.

If Steel and Vengeance is the match,
The Broken Oath is the inferno it lights.

🎴This is not a fairytale.
There are no perfect warriors. No perfect sisters.
Only choices. And consequences.
And three girls who never asked to become legends… but might just become something worse.

🔥 Ready to follow them deeper?
Book Two—The Broken Oath—is now available.
The past is no longer behind them.
It’s hunting them.
