The living keep more secrets than the dead.

Adventure to the dark corners of Rokugan with wardmaster Yogo Shuko in this new folk horror novel from Legend of the Five Rings.

In a remote corner of the Emerald Empire, a ghostly harbinger of doom and death haunts those who claim ownership over the forest village of Red Grove. When members of the new lord’s family are found dead, he summons wardmaster Yogo Shuko to dispatch the spirit.

With her apprentice, the young witch hunter Kuni Tansho, in tow, Shuko soon realizes their presence is not the only unwelcome thing in town. The locals are suspicious, the nobility secretive, and the forest unyielding.

As an enemy none can describe lays siege to the castle, Shuko and Tansho must solve a forgotten mystery before the bindings of fate close around them.
