The Bandit's Covenant

In all her life, Utako Sada had never done one thing right. Joining the gang of the Crimson Rider may have been a tempting choice at the time, but it turned out to be much less than promised.

When she finds herself captured by the Kumo Clan, and facing an executioner's blade, it seems as though her luck has run out. But salvation comes in the form of a proposal - track down a fugitive and all debts are paid.

With no other choice, Utako and her gang of miscreants must travel the Go-Wa of Ikaiguchi in search of a thief and the book he has stolen. A journey that will take them further than any of them could think possible. One that will ultimately test their loyalty, their resolve, and their sanity.
