Samurai Musashi Miyamoto may have survived the cataclysmic battle of Sekigahara, but not without making enemies among the Yoshioka school of warriors. The second Musashi shows his face in Kyoto, he knows they will do everything in their power to make good on their threat to feed him to the crows.

Still, taking down the Yoshioka is a crucial step in abolishing the “way of the sword,” an ancient code that binds samurai to their masters with unquestioning obedience. Musashi is prepared to risk everything … but even his spectacular gifts with the sword may prove no match for the cunning of powerful lords.

“An extraordinary read: throat-gripping set pieces, beautiful imagery, crafty politics, and themes of ego, power, and individualism.” —Booklist (starred review)

“If one purpose of imaginative fiction is to show us that other people have different beliefs and a different understanding of morality … then Mr. Kirk fulfills it… Enlarges our sense of what it is to be human.” —The Wall Street Journal, “Books of the Year”

“Kirk’s vigorous and robust prose complements the action to make rousing historical and philosophical statements.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review).

“So authentic, it’s easy to forget one is reading a novel.” —Library Journal (starred review)
