Sis ve Alev

A Ninja Revenge with Strong Friendships, Magical Worlds and Big Games...

Mariko, the daughter of a prominent samurai, has learned that being a woman means never being able to determine your own destiny. Talented, successful, and disregarded for her master alchemistry, Mariko has been raised for one purpose: marriage. A seventeen-year-old girl is sent to the imperial palace to meet her fiancee, whom she did not choose. But he is soon trapped by the Black Clan, a gang of bandits hired to kill him.

Mariko, the sole survivor of the attack, vows revenge on those who wanted to kill her: She will disguise herself, infiltrate the Black Clan and befriend their leader. Impressed by her intelligence and abilities, the Black Clan embraces Mariko, but as the young girl gets closer to her enemies and uncovers the veil of secrets about them, she begins to question everything she knew before.
