David Kudler’s teen historical adventure novel Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale officially hits the shelves on June 15.
Set in 1570 during Japan’s century-long civil war, Risuko follows Kano Murasaki, daughter of a disgraced samurai, as she is pulled into a plot that may save Japan — or may destroy it. Kirkus Reviews called the book “tight, exciting, and thoughtful,” while InD’tale Magazine said that “it’s almost impossible to put it down.”
If you’d like to know more about Risuko, visit Risuko.net. There are previews, out-takes, and articles about Japan and the writing process. And, of course, you can order it from your favorite bookseller as an ebook, paperback or hardcover — order the ebook today and it’s only $0.99! (I also have a whole bunch of links down below.)
Also, a special contest: the person who sends the screenshot from the Amazon page (mybook.to/Risuko) with the lowest ranking number wins a $25 Amazon gift card! (The ranking is down with the ISBN, just above the reviews.) The screenshot must be taken on June 15, 2016.
