Download As PDF : Streaming Dawn A Story of the Fated Blades eBook Steve Bein 
The riveting story of a legendary magic sword, two rivals for a seat in a warlord's court, and a ninja who must use her own magic blade to complete her mission and keep herself alive. Brimming with rich historical details, Streaming Dawn places the reader deep into ancient Japan, when warriors fought with deadly sharp weapons - and even sharper wits - in their quests for power.
Lord Itsumi Akiyama is in trouble. He was a conspirator in the murder of Oda Nobunaga, Japan's most powerful warlord in 1582. Worse, he is responsible for the death of a disciple of the Wind, Japan’s deadliest ninja clan. Enter Kaida, the Wind’s most dangerous agent. She seeks to avenge her fallen protégé, but there is a complication once she kills Akiyama, the Wind must figure out how to replace him. He occupies a key position in the inner circle of Oda’s successor, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who is set to conquer all of Japan. The Wind wants a puppet next to Hideyoshi, and Kaida is tasked with putting that puppet in place.
Kaida resents her assignment. The chosen puppet is Itsumi Kyusaku, brother and successor to Akiyama. Kyusaku took part in the murder of Kaida’s protégé, and so Kaida wants him dead. But his only rival for the position in Hideyoshi’s council is Okuma Tetsurō, a samurai with a bounty on his head—a bounty placed by the Wind. Kaida respects Okuma and has no desire to kill him. Moreover, she’s not even sure she can. His sword, Glorious Victory Unsought, is a legendary Inazuma blade. With it, Okuma is undefeatable.
But Kaida has a blade of her own. Streaming Dawn can fend off death itself, though at a bitter cost. It might even defend her from Glorious Victory Unsought, if she and Okuma should cross swords. So armed, she takes on the most difficult mission of her career. She cannot allow Kyusaku to come to power, but if she allows Okuma to rise in his stead, it will be Kaida’s head on the chopping block.
Since she cannot choose Kyusaku and she cannot choose Okuma, Kaida has no choice but to do what she does best achieve the impossible, proving herself once again to be the Wind’s canniest, deadliest ninja.

Fantastic story! I would recommend any one of Steve Bein's books and this one doesn't disappoint.Readers new to Bein's work will enjoy his great story telling ability and the level of detail that goes into his plot line. However this detail doesn't slow the reader down. It is fast paced and facinating throughout.
Readers familiar with the first two Fated Blade novels will appreciate the way Bein masterfully interweaves the history of some familiar characters into this novella. I personally was hoping for a substory like this in the "Year of the Demon" and when it didn't appear I was a little disappointed. This is far better than I imagined and incorporated so may aspects that, in other books, I would have felt like it was forced fan service but here just left me really amazed at the thought and detail this author puts into the history of all of his characters and the blades themselves.
A note from the author at the end mentions "Streaming Dawn" was intended as part of his new novel "Disciple of the Wind" and was cut due to the length of the novel. However this book stands alone wonderfully. I haven't read "Disciple of the Wind" yet but based on the author's comments this novel should be read before or at the same time as "Disciple of the Wind" to get the most out of the 3rd Fated Blades novel (which I intend to buy as soon as possible).

Streaming Dawn A Story of the Fated Blades eBook Steve Bein Reviews
story is excellent gives solid views into feudal japan
this novella continues a plot begun in Year of the Demon, and it focuses on one of my favorite characters from this series. if you like his novels, I highly recommend reading this too!
Steve Bein is one good story teller who also happens to know Martial Arts and a bit about Japan. All elements are shaken well together, not stirred, into one great story after another.
I just recently discovered Steve Bein's books and I'm really looking forward to reading them all.
It's usually difficult to for me to follow foreign names of characters, but Steve builds the characters into such real people that it is easy to differentiate them from one another without having to keep notes on who is who.
I didn't want the book to end because the story and all its layers were fascinating, the action doesn't stop and I care about what happens to Kaida.
Fantastic story! I would recommend any one of Steve Bein's books and this one doesn't disappoint.
