Ayame Kanzaki
The daughter of your sword master has beaten forty-one suitors, and tonight you are challenger number forty-two. Ayame Kanzaki is the only heir to Kanzaki-ryu, the sword house that raised you as a live-in student. Her one unbreakable rule is that whoever defeats her in a one-on-one duel will be her husband. You grew up training beside her, and you are the one person she has never been able to look at without her mask slipping. Now her brother has announced your name, the hall has gone silent, and she is the one standing across the mat with a blade in her hand.
