A powerful story of innocence lost, savage betrayal and glorious rebirth, Lady Death begins in 15th Century Sweden, where Hope, the beautiful daughter of Matthias - a skilled mercenary who is in actuality Lucifer, the Lord of Lies - is accused of being the devil's consort following a hellish incident witnessed by local villagers.

It is the era of the samurai and the ninja. Many villages are outwardly peaceful, but a twisted sexual underbelly exists. Kaede and her sister are unfortunately victims of this when the elder is raped and commits suicide shortly thereafter. Kaede seeks vengeance, and a lady ninja nun who hears of the events aids her in the search. There is more to the story behind the rape however, and the lies and secrets are slowly revealed behind a trail of clothing, sweat, and blood.

The lives of many people were thrown into chaos during Japan's Edo period. During all that mayhem, a religious cult was plotting a terrible conspiracy, and the story has remained secret until now. A lady ninja nun, concerned about the scheming, orders Kaede to infiltrate the cult. While successful, the skilled ninja agent is put under a spell by one of the priests, causing her to become feverish with lust over one of the cult's relics.

It is the Sengoku period, a time when Japan's states are constantly at war. When Kasumi's parents are killed, she and her brother are adopted by a powerful warlord. Soon she joins the Kunoichi to protect her brother and defend her new people. When a spy turns up dead, Kasumi investigates. Soon she finds herself forced to choose between love and the code of the Kunoichi.

It's been two years since Kasumi chose the Kunoichi lifestyle, and she now has a new enemy in Hattori Hanzo. Hanzo's wish is to penetrate the Ueda castle, so he enlists his own Kunoichi to seduce the gatekeeper, probing him for security loopholes. When Kasumi tries to thwart Hanzo's plan, she's nabbed and humiliated by Hanzo. A prostitute and lover of the gatekeeper, Kosode, comes to Kasumi's aid, but can they withstand the powerful Hanzo and his evil schemes?

The Kuroda clan is said to be in possession of a secret scroll. Using her body, Kasumi's mission to snatch it from them - and snatch it she does. Soon, the Kuroda clan are hot on her tail.

And when Hattori Hanzo puts a hit out on Kasumi, she's going to need those sword skills and all the help she can get to take on the formidable Oni clan assassins!

Once again, Lady Ninja Kasumi is a candidate for a dangerous mission that will use all of her abilities as both a kunoichi and a woman. Her clan elder approaches a specific former member of their group, Sakichi, for his aid in the matter.

Kasumi is assigned to search for a man who recieved a new weapon from the foriengers and escort him to Ueda Castle. It won't be easy, because Hanzo has already assigned his ninja army to steal the weapon and eliminate the sanada ninjas. Also, Hanzo's apprentices are back and ready to fight Kasumi again.
