Author Description

The story of the Empire of the Sun and Moon comes to its end! The Demons of Dakkurru prepare to unmake the Empire and with it, the world. Already their massive barbarian army has overrun the Tiger Clan, and their Cult of the Mask is readying an all-out attack on the Empire's fractured leadership. The bloodstained sellsword Kenji, haunted by a murderous past, must face his final destiny as the Sword of the Goddess Amatsu. The magistrate Kobayashi Mitsui has one last chance to track down the Mask cultists who kidnapped his son four years ago. And Ookami Akira, Lord of the Wolf Clan and Sword of the Moon, seeks to claim the Empire's long-vacant Throne and rally its remaining strength. He and his estranged wife Kaede face the resistance of intransigent nobles and the corrupt Theological Council, and Akira knows that even if he can lead every samurai into battle he will be massively outnumbered by Dakkurru's army -- an army led by his former lover Satsuki, now the Demons' slave.
