"A countdown of five of the most legendary samurai provides thrills as readers explore the lives, weapons, and battle tactics of these Japanese fighters"--Provided by publisher.

"Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has one task: to take her piece of the ancient and powerful Scroll of a Thousand Prayers to the Steel Feather temple in order to prevent the summoning of the Harbinger of Change, the great Kami Dragon who will grant one wish to whomever holds the scroll. But she has a new enemy now, more dangerous than any she has yet faced. The demon Hakaimono is free at last, and he has possessed the very person Yumeko trusted to protect her from the evil at her heels, Kage Tatsumi of the Shadow Clan. Hakaimono has only one goal: to break the curse of the sword and set himself free to rain chaos and destruction over the land forevermore. To do so, he will need the scroll. And Yumeko is the only one standing in his way"--Provided by publisher.

"Tao is a student at venerable master Kerozen's martial arts school. With his friends Rakai and Lee-Tou and his not-girlfriend Katimini, he tries to follow the teachings of the masters at the school--or, more often, finds a way around the masters' advice. Tao does not lack for ambition, but he has a tendency to get himself into trouble"--Provided by the publisher.

"Tao is a fearless samurai apprentice studying to become a virtuoso martial artist. But when you're naturally good at pranks, practical jokes, and other silly antics (including trying to teach kung fu moves to the big, lazy cat, Bruce Lee), it's hard to concentrate on learning how to slay dragons"--Provided by the publisher.
