3.7 out of 5 stars 20 ratings
A ghost of a dead emperor, a young Samurai with an unknown past, and a monk with many secrets.

Japan, 1179. Young acolyte Riku has spent his life training for battle. Raised by the monks of his shrine, he has never known any other life. As he struggles to understand his connection to the kami, he suspects that his shrine is somehow different. But what are the monks not telling him?

Riku has unknowingly inherited a powerful ability from his mother: the ability to share his body with a demon and survive. Now, a dark enemy wants to use that power to his own ends. Whether Riku likes it or not.

When disaster strikes the shrine, Riku is forced down a path that the monks who raised him fought to prevent. Will he be able to uncover the secrets to his family’s past and finally understand his true destiny?

Winds Of Retribution is the first book in the Blood Samurai series. If you love your historical fantasy complete with the creatures of Japanese folklore stalking its pages, you need to grab your copy today.

    4.0 out of 5 stars nice

    I'm a big sucker for stories that take place in Japan and this ended up being a nice read. I admit at the start I was a little confused and had to reread sometimes...but I did kind of skip the intro parts because I'm not one to read those haha so maybe if you read those you'll do better than I did.

    4.0 out of 5 stars More of a novella than a over, but worth a read
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This was a fun read, although it is more of a novella length piece. The tale is fun and well-told, with a fantasy plot firmly embedded in Japan's Shogunate period. It ended a bit abruptly (obviously to make this the first in a series, which isn't really playing fair, but what there is here works.
