This book was about a young samurai who sails to an island, but it turns out the island he went to had rumors of strange things happening. This book is packed with action, adventure, mystery and there is even a bit of a love story in it. Overall i liked this book because it was exciting and it was hard for me to stop reading because it was so interesting! I would recommend this book to 12-15 year old boys.
