Sequel to "Red Lotus". Once the gods gave him a chance for redemption and eternal peace... but he returned to life as a ghost. Now death, which failed to take him, follows on his heels, taking 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 outlive his father. The Snake Clan tricks its way into the province and poisons everything with its poison. The army of dishonest bandits is led by a creature before whom even the Spirit will have to bow. And on the border, countless troops of Manguts are just waiting for the signal to attack. Yes, the days of the Nagata clan are numbered. But before the funeral pyres are lit, the old samurai with an iron soul will send for the dying warrior boy, who was born by magic. Magic. It all started with her. And she will finish this story.

“This is certainly a successful combination of historical adventure novel with classic fantasy and elements of horror literature, which surprises us with its non-European approach to tradition.” – Empic.pl “The protagonist is very reminiscent of the main character of the cult video game Sekiro!” – Lubimyczytac.pl
