Curse of Honor by David Annandale

Curse of Honor by David Annandale

The reckless pursuit of honor exposes an empire to demonic invasion, in this epic fantasy novel of duty and warfare, set in the extraordinary world of Legend of the Five Rings. Striking Dawn Castle defends the mountains between the Rokugan empire and the demon-haunted Shadowlands. When a mythical city is discovered in the forbidding peaks, Hida Haru, heir and sore disappointment to his family, seizes the opportunity to prove himself. His rash expedition ends in disaster – just one samurai returns alive, and Haru is lost. Before a power struggle can break out, Striking Dawn’s battle-hardened commander, Ochiba, is dispatched to rescue Haru. She succeeds against supernatural horrors, but Haru is… changed. Now, mysterious deaths and ill fortune plague his family. Something evil is loose and must be stopped, at any cost.

"A fantastic story that manages to be both accessible for readers who know nothing about the setting as well as engaging for long time fans" -- Imperial Advisor: The L5R LCG Show
"Curse of Honor is a deftly crafted and inherently riveting read from first page to last. Clearly showcasing Annandale's genuine flair for originality and the kind of narrative storytelling style that is as entertaining as it is compelling." -- Midwest Book Review
"It really is a good story, providing the perfect opportunity for Annandale to let loose and have fun with horrible supernatural creepiness and haunted, tragic characters forced into increasingly painful decisions. Highly recommended." -- Track of Words
"Curse of Honor feels like an Alien movie; a tense, dimly-lit thriller where the protagonist gets extended action scenes, discovers horrific tableaus, and has to grapple with the growing paranoia of those around her." -- Strange Assembly
