Shadow Warrior: Demon Slayer - Volume 1 - Sword of Vengeance

For almost twenty years, Tomonobu Fujiwara, a masterless samurai, has pursued the wizard who murdered his family and destroyed his clan. Now as his revenge is about to be complete his enemy escapes to a parallel world. The warrior follows, finding himself in a place that is very different from his home, where he encounters new hazards, allies, strange people and strange customs. But it’s not as simple as a single-minded pursuit of an enemy. Tomonobu finds himself caught up in a wider conflict, between Spirits and Demons who vie for control of both worlds and more. As samurai, Tomonobu is taught not to depart from the path fate has in store for him, but what if it’s possible to make one’s own path? This first volume in a multi-volume series explores a complex, interwoven universe with its own unique history, culture, and characters, some familiar to our world and some completely alien. Beauty does not necessarily convey virtue; ugliness does not necessarily convey evil. What does one do when confronted with choices and options one never knew existed? As Tomonobu makes his journey we see bits of his past that have led him to where he is today, and finally we see the closing of a very, very wide circle.
