About the book
The Emperor is dead and the Emerald Empire is in turmoil. From New York Times bestselling author Julie Kagawa and J.T. Nicholas comes the thrilling first installment in the definitive story of the Clan Wars.
The Emerald Empire is on the brink of collapse. The assassination of the Emperor has sent shockwaves throughout Rokugan, especially with the disappearance of his sons. The established political order that has united the Great Clans for generations is coming apart at the seams, with each clan now thirsting for power and war, leaving destruction in their wake.
Lawlessness reigns, and amidst the chaos, the rōnin Toturi, once the Emperor's champion, roams the land searching for a new purpose in the midst of betrayal. He fights to salvage what little remains while trying to outrun a haunted past that threatens to consume him. However, one cannot escape their fate forever, especially when their own failures have led to the turmoil they now struggle against.
Meanwhile, as internal conflicts within the Imperial Court escalate, a new danger looms on the horizon. A malevolent army of demons gathers, intent on obliterating the clans and erasing them from existence.
The stage is set for the bloodiest conflicts in the empire's history, with the outcome uncertain. This time, victory may elude them all.
