‘Flame in the Mist’ by Renée Ahdieh
Set in Japan, this story follows Mariko, the seventeen-year-old daughter of a samurai who dresses up as a boy to hunt down The Black Chan, a group tasked with killing her. Just like the main character of Disney’s 1998 animated film ‘Mulan’, Mariko is a strong-willed, mean woman that you will fall in love with.
