Sword of honour

Honour, duty, vengeance... The way of the Samurai. The second Samurai adventure from David Kirk, perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden. Musashi Miyamoto's reputation precedes him. He is known as the greatest warrior of all time. But all that must change, for Miyamoto and his men have been defeated in the great battle of Sekigahara.

Tens of thousands of men lie slaughtered and the Armies of the East have claimed a glorious victory. And now, alone but alive, he must contemplate his future.

Until this moment he has lived and fought as a Samurai, proud of its ancient tradition, following The Way with honour.

But in defeat he must question everything, and what he once saw as honour he now sees as ignorance.

But tradition is strong and he is just one man. But though he seeks to throw off the past, the past will not let him go.

His name is on a list of those who have dishonoured the Yoshioka warriors, and a man has been sent to claim is head in their name. And so, though he renounces violence, he must protect himself and seek revenge on those who would have him dead…
