Madam Silence

Continuation of “The Red Lotus.”

Once the gods gave him a chance at redemption and eternal rest… but he returned to life as a ghost. Now the death he couldn’t have taken—follows him, grabbing others.

The Nagata clan is dying. The gray-haired daimyo will no longer lead his warriors into battle, and his sickly son is unlikely to survive his father. The Snake clan infiltrates the province by deception and poisons everything with their venom. The army of dishonorable bandits is led by a creature that even the Spirit will have to submit to. And at the border, countless troops of manguts are only waiting for the signal to attack.

Yes, the days of the Nagata clan are numbered.

But before lighting the funeral pyres, the old samurai with an iron soul will send for the dying boy-warrior whom magic has brought into the world.

Magic. It was with magic that it all began. And it will end this story too.
