About this listen

Not all assassins wear black

Some come wearing silk

A young Takeda warrior meets a servant who is much more than she seems. And teaches him what a warrior truly can be.

This is the second of six Kunoichi Companion Tales, prequel stories to David Kudler's historical novel Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale.

  • White Robes - Mired in her own grief, Lady Mochizuki Chiyome encounters two young women who give her a whole new, much more interesting opportunity
  • Silk & Service - A young Takeda warrior meets a servant who is much more than she seems
  • Ghost - When Lady Chiyome receives a note from the shōgun, she finds that the messenger is much more intriguing than the message
  • Shining Boy - Plucked off of the streets of the capital, an orphan girl tries to figure out what story she's wandered into
  • Blade - Toumi doesn't want anyone messing with her business
  • Little Brother - Returning to the monastery turns out to be as hard as leaving it was
