[Spanish] - La ira y el amanecer (The Wrath and the Dawn)

Cien vidas por la que tomasteis. Una vida por cada amanecer. En una tierra regida por un monstruoso califa, cada nuevo amanecer rompe el corazón de una familia. Día tras día, el rey contrae matrimonio con una joven que al alba es ejecutada. Si falláis una sola vez, os arrebataré vuestros sueños, os arrebataré vuestra ciudad. Y os arrebataré estas vidas multiplicadas por mil. Por eso es un misterio cuando una desconocida se presenta voluntaria para casarse con él. Esa misma noche, ella le cuenta una historia. Yo no estoy aquí para luchar. Estoy aquí para ganar. Y por primera vez, la aurora no llega teñida de rojo. Os juro que viviré para ver todos los atardeceres posibles. Y que os mataré. Con mis propias manos.

La llama en la niebla (Flame in the Mist)

Mariko siempre ha sabido que, como hija de un importante samurái, su único propósito en la vida era casarse. Aunque su astucia rivalice con la de su hermano y, como a menudo le recuerdan, su físico no sea muy femenino. En cuanto cumple diecisiete años, su familia la envía al palacio imperial para que conozca a su prometido. No obstante, la reunión no llega a producirse debido a un inesperado obstáculo: en el viaje, un clan de mercenarios ataca la comitiva y ella es la única superviviente. Disfrazada de joven campesino, Mariko se infiltra entre sus atacantes para averiguar quién ordenó su asesinato. Pero lo que descubre junto a sus peligrosos compañeros va mucho más allá de lo que esperaba.
