The daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has long known her place—she may be an accomplished alchemist, whose cunning rivals that of her brother Kenshin, but because she is not a boy, her future has always been out of her hands. At just seventeen years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor's favorite consort—a political marriage that will elevate her family's standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, who she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace. Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the Black Clan and track down those responsible for the target on her back. Once she's within their ranks, though, Mariko finds for the first time she's appreciated for her intellect and abilities. She even finds herself falling in love—a love that will force her to question everything she's ever known about her family, her purpose, and her deepest desires.

Book excerpt: "More engaging than any new fiction in years." —Chuck Palahniuk An unforgettable work of fiction that peers into the soul of a tough Midwestern American town to reveal the sad, stunted but resilient lives of its residents. Knockemstiff is a genuine entry into the literature of place. Spanning a period from the mid-sixties to the late nineties, the linked stories that comprise Knockemstiff feature a cast of recurring characters who are irresistibly, undeniably real. A father pumps his son full of steroids so he can vicariously relive his days as a perpetual runner-up body builder. A psychotic rural recluse comes upon two siblings committing incest and feels compelled to take action. Donald Ray Pollock presents his characters and the sordid goings-on with a stern intelligence, a bracing absence of value judgments, and a refreshingly dark sense of bottom-dog humor.

In fact, since she met Lord Sitana by chance as a child, Lina has not let go of her crush on him for several years. However, because of her status as a neglected priestess from a humble family, Lina is not willing to approach Lord Sitana. A loving crush that has been hiding her heart since she met him as a child. On the day the crush is rewarded, when the flowers are in full bloom and the sky is blue. #western #fantasy #supernatural #knight/warrior #friendship #firstLove #sweetAndLovely * This romantic short story is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel. (text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (61 pages in approx. print length) Preview In the Holy Kingdom, the saints and saintesses who could communicate with God belonged to the high-ranking occupation group. It was evident that Lina, who was blessed by the god of love in the Holy Kingdom where various gods coexisted, lived in rituals, even though Lina was not from noble family. Of course, although Lina was strongly blessed with her, how people looked at her did not change. "She is the saintess who follows the god of love, but she's an idiot." "Hey, what are you looking at, Lina?" "Oh, no....... I'm sorry." "Okay. So you laid your eyes like that. Your are not the right saintess! You haven't been recognized as a priestess yet? How long was it, about ten years?" It was everyday that she heard those insults when she went around the several temples. An idiot. For Lina, it was an expression that could not be rebutted. Many gods in the Holy Kingdom had the area of their own. In the case of Lina's Narham, she was a goddess who was in charge of love. And the saints and saintesses who followed the gods were recognized as a proper general priest and priestess when they experienced the area of the god. In other words, even though her classmates were promoted to a general priest and priestess, this was why Lina still stayed as her apprentice. "She was twenty one years old, but she didn't get a marriage proposal?" "Even the gods are married early. But what is she? Also. That's because she is not from noble family." Even though she apologized, the priests next to her was raising their voice and talking about her. It was as they said. It was common for a girl to be married in her mid-teens or when she became an adult. Only then did she enjoy the blessing of Narham, the god of love. But Lina had no marriage proposal even though she was twenty one years old. "When she was young," they said. "She was famous for being able to use her greatest power among the young priests. Genius? Genius from serf." "It's an old saying. She couldn't even get married, so she can't use it right? " Still, Lina, who bowed her head, quickly moved her steps. Most of the people here were ridiculous that Lina, who was not a noble woman, became a priestess. So they despised her and her family background. When she went around them, they routinely frowned upon her. "Lina, are you going to return her book?" "Ah ....... Sir Sitana, hello." "I forgot saying hello to you." However, Eric Sitana, the vice president of the 2nd Holy Knights, was different. As the second son of a Sitana's family, he was the youngest in Holy Knights, and soon afterwards, he became only a deputy commandant. There was a rumor that he received a suggestion for the commandant. He had a dark blue eyes that resembled the sea, and he was quite famous here. He looked like god's perfect appearance, but most of all, his character was excellent.
