Blades of Shadow, Paperback

A child saved from execution.

A warrior seeking redemption.

A kingdom on the brink of collapse.

Eiji's life changes the day he stumbles upon Isau, a boy sentenced to death by the local monasteries. Against his better judgment, he rescues Isau, setting aside his own quest to right an old crime. His decision leads to a chase throughout the shattered lands of the Three Kingdoms.

Pursued by the monasteries' best trackers and a mysterious figure, Eiji and Isau find themselves at the heart of a conflict between powerful forces. The blood from the Great War has barely dried, but once again warriors sharpen their swords in preparation for the downfall of a kingdom.

In the midst of a historic uprising, Eiji and Isau must decide where they stand, and what they are willing to sacrifice on behalf of their beliefs.
