KAZUCHIYO: Lord of the East

With the changing of the seasons, Kazuchiyo’s campaign in the west is brought to a close. He and his loversnbegin the march home, but not to Aritaka’s stronghold of Gyoe. Lord Aritaka instead bids them come to Suyama Province, to the mountain of the Red Dragon that Kazuchiyo’s true family called home.

To see his father’s murderer take their ancestral seat is almost more indignity than Kazuchiyo can bear, but with the autumn harvest festivities underway, he bides his time increasing his skill with magic, navigating new enemies and new alliances, and preparing for the autumn harvest festivities. But intrigue and assassination are a samurai’s stalwart fellows, and war is never far behind.

Lord of the East is the third book of the KAZUCHIYO series, continuing the adventures and romance of a young samurai, his most loyal warrior, and a trickster shinobi. Visit melanieschoenbooks.com for updates and more information.
