Cold Sake, A Yamabuki Story (The Pillow Book of a Samurai)
by Katherine M. Lawrence
Without warning, something grabbed her wrist, twisting with such force that it brought her to her knees. She fought to get loose, but in moments she was tossed onto her back. Now in the grip of something physically stronger than she, with her free hand the warrior struggled to grasp her weapons, but they were not within reach.
Yamabuki, a young woman samurai, cold, wet, and traveling alone in the wilderness with the day turning to night, seeks shelter at the East Wind Inn, scoffing at the rumors that it's haunted. She's 17 years old, new to the warrior's way of life, but confident in her ability to take care of herself. But is that enough?
When she finally finds the inn deep in a forest, she's greeted with warmth, saké, and very welcome hospitality—but as night falls, her mettle is put to the test.
First of a series of stories about a woman samurai warrior in 12th-century Japan
Several women samurai are in the historical record of Heian Japan. Cold Sake, a standalone story within Katherine M. Lawrence's forthcoming epic series, Pillow Book of a Samurai, introduces us to Yamabuki Takagi, a woman warrior known for her beauty and skill. In Cold Sake we experience the grit, determination and empathy of this extraordinary woman of history.
Yamabuki is the main character in Katherine M. Lawrence's meticulously researched multipart saga, The Pillow Book of a Samurai: Tales of the Autumn Creek Land, which relates Yamabuki's role in epic events during Japan's Heian period leading up to the Gempei War that changed the course of Japanese history.
