Synopsis

Japan, late 1867. The Tokugawa shogunate is failing, old loyalties are beginning to fracture, and rumours of war have reached even the remote Aizu village of Kasumizawa.

The three Hayashi sisters have been raised beneath the discipline of their samurai father. Sumiko, the silent eldest, fights with the naginata. Misako meets danger with a katana and a temper as fierce as her blade. Aiko, the youngest, sees what others overlook and has learned to turn patience and precision into weapons.

Their training has always been preparation for a future none of them truly believed would come.

When their father is summoned to Wakamatsu, the sisters are ordered to remain behind. Three days later, armed men descend upon Kasumizawa. The village defence becomes a massacre. Homes burn, friends fall, and Aiko is taken alive to a fortified outpost.

No soldiers come to help. No message arrives from their father. Bound by duty but unwilling to abandon their sister, Sumiko and Misako refuse to wait.

Their pursuit carries them through violent rain, blood-soaked roads and guarded walls. Inside the outpost, Aiko is learning that survival requires more than endurance. Outside, her sisters prepare to risk their honour, their lives and everything their father taught them to bring her home.

Before war can divide a nation, it must first test a family.

The Birth of Steel and Vengeance is the opening novel in the Daughters of Wars Chronicles, a brutal historical action saga of sisterhood, loyalty and survival during the final days of Tokugawa Japan.

This revised and expanded edition features strengthened historical detail, deeper character development, sharper continuity, more intense battle sequences, additional story material and newly created maps, bringing the beginning of the Hayashi sisters’ journey fully into line with the later novels in the series.
