Samurai Girl: The Book of the Sword

Samurai Girl: The Book of the Sword

When Heaven was six months old, she fell from the sky, being the only survivor of the Japanese flight, Japan Airlines flight 999. She is taken in by the Kogo family and is named Heaven. Years later, her father arranges a marriage for Heaven and on her wedding day, her life shatters in front of her as a ninja interrupts the wedding and her brother ends up dying, trying to kill the intruder. As Heaven runs away from her family and her old life, what awaits her?

The story is well written, and somewhat descriptive as well. There are also a few illustrations throughout the story, which I must admit are quite good. The only part I didn't like about this story is that Heaven tends to have second thoughts on whether she wants to return to her old life or continue with her new one.
