Reviews
"if you're like me you'll come away from the book wanting to learn more about the world of Legend of the Five Rings."
"Both protagonists are pining idiots, though for fascinatingly different reasons. Five out of Five."
"It transcends its tie-in roots to deliver a powerful, emotional tale of loyalty, honour, duty and love."
"An absolute 'must read' choice for fans of Samurai novels and Heroic Fantasy Fiction"
