Honour, duty, vengeance... The way of the Samurai. A thrilling new adventure from a bold new voice in historical fiction, for fans of Conn Iggulden
Scholar. Warrior. Samurai.
His name was Bennosuke, son of the great Munisai Shinmen, known throughout the empire as one of the greatest warriors who ever lived.
His destiny was to become a great warrior like his father - a Samurai, one of the most feared and respected in the world.
But before fame comes action, and Bennosuke must prove himself on the battlefield before he can claim his inheritance. And in his way stands the vengeful Hayato, son of Lord Nakata, the face of the enemy, a man who is determined to kill Bennosuke.
It is a battle between honour and vengeance, pride and reputation. And Bennosuke must look death in the eye before he can call himself a warrior. Before he can call himself Musashi, the greatest warrior of all time…
'A fascinating, exciting book, beautifully observed. Kirkcreates characters of great depth. An absolute gem' Conn Iggulden
'Mr Kirk restores my faith in historical fiction to bring lost worlds to life. Bravo! The keenest and most vivid evocation of the inner life of the East since James Clavell's Shogun'Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire

O autorovi
David Kirk was born in Ohio in 1955. He received a B. A. in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art. In the 1970's, he began to make toys and market them to area craft shops. Although the toys sold well, he was unable to produce them fast enough or cheaply enough to sell to children. He decided to try to mass produce them and founded a company called Hoobert Toys. His manufacturing ventures were not successful, but the illustrations he was going to use for the toy packages later became the basis of the illustrations for his first books. His first children's book, Miss Spider's Tea Party, was published in 1994. His other works include Miss Spider's Wedding; Nova's Arc; Little Bird, Biddle Bird; Little Bunny, Biddle Bunny; Little Miss Spider; and Oh So Tiny Bunny. His books have been spun off into a television special and a series for the Nickelodeon network as well as a line of designer clothing, accessories, and furniture produced and sold by Target Stores beginning in 2003.
