Description:Now Playing: The Lady and the Samurai Story OutlineKindle (KDP)Swordplay at its finest! For thousands of years, humankind has gathered sticks and stones to break those bones–and the sharpest of blades to go into battle with, the sword in history attaining unparalleled heights and has been a way of life for cultures around the globe, such as the Samurai of Japan. The gallant sword, the symbolic apex weapon of Divinity itself, of Heaven’s own hallowed choice of weapons, has been the excelsior instrument of ridding the world of evil and its woes. From Arthur’s Excalibur to Alexander’s sword that cut the Gordian Knot, to Charlemagne’s Sword Joyeuese to El Cid’s Colada, to the time-defying Chinese blade of Goujian and the insane, murderous swords of master Japanese sword smith Senzo Muramasa, swords have been the backdrop for the mightiest tales known to myth and history. From time immemorial even unto the modern age where, “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,” noble Jedi wield their thrumming light sabers in blazing glory, cutting a wide swath of righteousness against all that is evil, slicing it asunder. Timeless in their orientation, swords are the “stuff” legends and dreams are made of, the tool of mountain-moving great words and deeds, of accomplishment, the sterling icon harkening unto the soul of humanity as the implement of reckoning, of righteousness, of quelling the forces of darkness whenever needs be.Now comes, The Lady and the Samurai! In this dramatic tale of passion, lightning fast fencing cultures East and West collide amidst the background of the noblest sporting display of all–the world Olympics! The gripping tale, as lithe and as deadly as the slivery fluid blade, boils over with the obsessions of sensuality while at the same time touches the vaulted doors of heaven itself.Share in the agony and ecstasy of the hellishly disturbed young and beautiful fencing prodigy Christina Brickley as she battles to overcome her inner demons and outwit her implacable arch-fencing nemesis Felipe “The Fork” LaForche, team lead, blade virtuoso and killer in the darkest arts of manipulation. In a do-or-die effort, hero Christina and the villainous LaForche lock blades in the sweltering cauldrons of their furious obsessions caustically striving with each other in death-defying mental bladeholds as they seek to out-flank the other in order to gain the glory of being an Olympian, the undisputed master of the fencing world.A riveting tale of human nature, blade and wit, LaForche and Brickley, clash furiously attempting to destroy one another. Played out before modern Roman Coliseum mobs, they manifest their hidden, scheming intents through their wind-shearing cutlasses using blurring, bolts-out-of-the-blue duels that nightmarishly filet mind, flesh and blade, far beyond the normal ken of ordinary tournament fencing. With fears sticking hard and fast, the galvanic duo ply their mind-blades deep into the other as they compete for the championship position that will propel them to become the high-noon “top blade” of the world of fencing.Upon the brink of self-destruction, Christina meets Thomas Nō Kannon, a young handsome modern Samurai, who instills within her not the why or how of the blade of which she is already expert, but the very heart of the sword–the soul of the Samurai. As she trains under his stern, intense tutelage, Christina is renovated from a sword-renegade to a consummate artiste of the elite sword of mercy. Absorbing the highest ideals of the Samurai, she is elevated beyond the pale scope of her wicked peers and LaForche himself–la diabolique escrime équipe le Capitaine. The brilliant education that Thomas imparts to Christina sets the stage for one horrific last stand struggle of raging conflict between the two titans as to who will successfully come out on top or fall to the wayside–skewered by the hand of their unforgiving rival to be heard of no more. Traversing the hot grinding irons of the grueling tournament scene packed with ghoulish, lust filled throngs theirs is a silent struggle of epic proportions in which only one can succeed, the conquered only to taste the bitter tang of stinging defeat at the hands of their most accomplished, implacable adversary.In The Lady and the Samurai, readers will:– Witness the hidden restless undercurrents and riptides of the high society fencing privileged, where dreams and heroes are made–and losers are simply run through.– Be transfixed as intrigues and the twang of electrifying blue steel twine about the contestants in a high-stakes, life or death struggle in bids for position, acclaim, reputation and the final victory. From the blast furnace from which champions are forged, they arise out of the fires of their own blazing passions, fueled by the searing compulsions of their wills, hands and the shrilling blade of absolute zero ice.– Confront Filipe LaForche, the suave, devious sword maestro as he dominates his...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
