YA
Shaman Himiko (Spirit's Princess) returns to find her clan devastated by an Ookami invasion and her mother rendered dangerously unstable by her son Noboru's kidnapping. A voyage to rescue her brother leads to Himiko's own enslavement, and seeing Ookami injustices moves her to try to change them. Himiko's pensive, engaging first-person narration connects readers to the mystical ancient-Japan setting.
