Bookroo's summary

Jack Fletcher, a samurai-in-training, faces the ultimate test of courage and skill in the Circle of Three. As he battles school rival Kazuki, a greater threat looms: the ninja Dragon Eye, who seeks a deadly prize Jack holds. Can Jack master the Way of the Sword before it's too late?

From the publisher

One year of training in samurai school and Jack Fletcher is in real trouble . . . Not only is he struggling to prepare for the Circle of Three, an ancient ritual that tests a samurai’s courage, skill and spirit to the limit, he’s caught in a running battle with fellow student Kazuki and his gang. But these are the least of Jack’s problems. He knows his deadly rival - the ninja Dragon Eye - could strike at any moment. Jack possesses the very thing he will kill for. Can Jack master the Way of the Sword in time to survive a fight to the death?
