Balsa is a female warrior, a fearless bodyguard hired for her prowess in fighting and devotion to the poor. When she's hired to protect the eleven-year-old Second Prince, who has survived numerous assassination attempts, she quickly discovers more than she bargained for since the child is a guardian of a water spirit. If she does not protect him from a ferocious demon and the emperor’s politics, a drought will devastate the land. Set in a fantasy version of Japan, this book is fast-paced and well-written. Readers will fall in love with the characters—the child prince learning to outgrow his spoiled upbringing, the wise and snarky old woman who communicates with spirits, and a childhood friend of Balsa’s, to mention a few. The book is the first in a series and has been turned into a television series as well as manga books.
