What is The Way of the Sword about?

In 17th-century Japan, Jack Fletcher, an English boy training as a samurai, faces the daunting Circle of Three—a rigorous test of courage, skill, and spirit. Simultaneously, he contends with the hostility of fellow student Kazuki and the looming threat of the ninja Dragon Eye, who seeks his father's invaluable rutter. To survive and protect this precious guide, Jack must master the Way of the Sword before time runs out.
