Beware the righteous, for they are the ones most capable of evil.
Takeo Karaoshi knows these words well. After losing his beloved, this infamous and highly skilled ronin teams up with a washed-out ex-knight, a death-seeking viking, and a far-too-kind ogre on a quest to make the world a better place. Yet Takeo knows something they do not. Although the goal is worthy, he is not. No great accomplishment comes without sacrifice, and who better to sacrifice than the wicked and the wretched.
A reckoning is at hand, and woe will befall more than the vanquished.
I'll read just about anything these days as I enjoy branching out and trying new things, though my favorites still ride along the same old tracks I followed as a kid: fantasy and science fiction. I love strong characters, deep world building, and colorful prose. What I seek as a reader is the same as what I hope to accomplish as an author: transport the reader to another world where they become so absorbed they lose track of everything around them.
