Synopsis

Heroic samurai must defeat an ancient evil unleashed upon the world, before its malign power destroys the realm of Rokugan in this epic Legend of the Five Rings fantasy adventure

The Emerald Empire stands on the brink of destruction. The dark sorcerer Iuchiban has escaped his tomb, and desires dominion over all. Unicorn samurai Iuchi Qadan has been welcomed home and celebrated for her part in destroying the Blood-speaker rebellion. Yet she is not herself . . . Possessed by Iuchiban, Qadan can do nothing but watch as the undying sorcerer lord draws tight the noose he has wrapped around the throat of an unsuspecting empire. And hope that someone will realize she is not who she seems. But the other survivors of Iuchiban's tomb are few, and made speechless by the horrors they've endured. To stop Iuchiban's evil, new alliances between old enemies must be formed. They will be brittle, untested, and marred by mistrust. Should these alliances fail, there will be no Rokugan.

Goodreads review by Hikari on August 28, 2023

I’d not come across this franchise until the Daidoji Shin mysteries (which I enjoyed) so requested to read this one as well. The author has an engaging, fast paced writing style to get you quickly into the story. I’d not read the first novel but it turns out this is the second in a series. There are......more

Goodreads review by Fatguyreading on September 28, 2023

I'm a huge fantasy fan and love Japanese/ Asian mythology, so this was right up my street. An absolutely enthralling read, fast paced and well flowing. The second in the series ( the first being The Heart of Iuchiban, which I'd recommend you read before this one ) and I believe we will see a third boo......more
