Iron Fist, Blossoming Heart

Colleen Willow is treated in her own household as a woman who cannot fight and has to be protected. House Willow is known throughout the martial world, and its rule is that the family's techniques pass to men only, so Colleen learned the family's Iron Fist in secret and spent years not daring to show what she could do. A powerful enemy comes after the family. The Willow masters are beaten, and the family's property and standing are at risk. Colleen watches her relatives losing and stops hiding. She fights, and the family learns that she is the most gifted of them and the only person carrying the family's techniques forward.
