The Sword and the Spirits
Something stirs within Cliffside Shrine...
Shiba Tsukune wasn't supposed to become the Champion of the Phoenix Clan¸ but their ancient sword chose her. Trained as a samurai warrior¸ she was to be the bodyguard of Isawa Tadaka¸ a powerful shugenja-and the man she loved. Although her new duties have drawn them apart¸ she refuses to stand by and watch as Tadaka falls to the darkness within him.
Tsukune follows him north to Cliffside Shrine¸ home of the Kaito family¸ where he is investigating the mysterious death of a prominent priestess. All around them¸ the shrine shows signs of decay and desecration¸ and the wards that for centuries have bound an evil demon are fraying. What secrets are the Kaito family keeping? And can Tsukune save Tadaka from descending down a dark path before it's too late?
