In a land of gods and monsters, there is nothing more powerful than a samurai’s honor—and there is no samurai more honorable than Tomoe Gozen. A woman fighting in a man’s world, she has the power to topple kingdoms and bring the gods to their knees.
Tomoe’s journey begins in The Disfavored Hero (1981), when an evil wizard brings her back to life, forcing her to dishonor herself by fighting against her master. In The Golden Naganita (1982), Tomoe flees her father’s house and goes in search of a cursed blade, and in Thousand Shrine Warrior (1984), she attempts to make a new life as a nun, but finds that she cannot escape her bloody destiny.
