True freedom is not simply breaking the rules for yourself-it is using your power to make sure others are free to choose their own path.

Can Princess Hana become the warrior she longs to be without abandoning her responsibilities-and can she change the kingdom without becoming reckless enough to destroy the people she hopes to protect?

Princess Hana was born into a life of beauty, privilege, and tradition-but never freedom.

Inside the walls of Himeji Castle, her future has already been chosen: obey the court, accept an arranged marriage, and become the princess everyone expects. But in secret, Hana trains with a sword, determined to prove that her destiny belongs to her.

When her rebellion draws the attention of the powerful Lord Nobu, Hana is forced into a national tournament where losing means surrendering her sword-and the right to choose her own future.

But the deeper she fights, the more she discovers that the tournament is only part of a far greater conspiracy.

To win, Hana must do more than defeat the kingdom's greatest warriors.

She must decide what freedom is truly worth-and whether changing her own fate is enough when an entire generation is waiting behind a closed gate.
