Kami is living a peaceful family life, far away from the samurai and their ways, and far away from the troubles of his past. Or so he thinks. Through happenstance he has the opportunity to take on an apprentice, and finds himself drawn back into the world of the samurai.His past decision to abandon his clan is not without consequence, even in the distant lands of Ryukyu. His former clan have plans for him, plans that will lead Kami into battle once more, this time with his family at stake. Old friends and new enemies are about to arrive to provide Kami with his greatest challenge survival.
I once again have enjoyed reading one of David Walters books about what life in Japan could have,been like a few hundred years ago. It was very enjoyable, and DW did a fine job of weaving all those characters into a great story line. Thank you Mr DW.
Kami settling down to domestic bliss? Not likely. It's not long before he's got to defend his family, Fox Tooth and nail. And can he trust his own wife? Kami also learns the fighting styles of the peasants, who find creative ways to inflict damage with anything that comes to hand. David Walters keeps the pace moving and slips in a couple of flashes of wit between Kami and his undefeated opponent... his wife. Keeps you wanting more.
