During the journey their fate is sealed. The warrior who knows ten thousand ways to kill – and to love – pledges his life to Taniko. But again and again their karma will sweep them apart. He, to serve the outlawed Muratomo family. She, to be possessed by the heir of the enemy Takashi clan… even as Kublai Khan and his wild Mongol hordes eye Japan like a covered jewel.

    In thirteenth-century Japan, the Red Banner of the ruling Takashi dynasty was stained with the blood of the people. The eternal love of the warrior monk Jebu and the lovely Taniko had been thwarted by the will of the gods and the winds of battle. Now the Zinja monk and his brilliant commander, Yukio, rally the rival Muratomo clan’s forces, to wage again the War of the Dragons – for control of the imperial throne. But victory did not end their labors. The new Shogun was consumed by jealousy and the greed of power. Jebu’s beloved, Lady Tamiko. was coveted by the tyrant. And the glittering-armored warriors of Kublai Khan were poised to strike by sea, in iron waves, against the sacred islands of snow-dusted peaks and silken pavilions – against Japan! The splendid tale of SHIKE is told in two volumes. LAST OF THE ZINJA continues from TIME OF THE DRAGONS.
