I was adopted by a wealthy family in Tokyo, pampered, and protected. For nineteen years, I thought I was lucky.I'm learning how wrong I was.A Sheltered LifeLife is good back in Japan where I'm safe and papered as a princess though I miss the freedom I had in L.A. But now maybe I'll finally face my enemy.And I can learn the truth about who I really am and what I will become.I am Samurai Girl.
