The Game of 100 Candles cover

Two samurai risk their hearts, souls, and their very existence to stop an occult phantom from destroying the world, in this stunning supernatural fantasy from Legend of the Five Rings

The demon-vanquishing samurai, Asako Sekken and Agasha no Isao Ryotora are summoned to Winter Court. Their exploits with the Spirit Realms have taken a toll on the pair and the cut and thrust of Rokugani politics proves challenging. After being urged to share their tales of adventure, the Winter Court guests begin to fall into a deep sleep from which they cannot wake. Fearing foul play, the Phoenix demand retribution, but Sekken and Ryotora uncover the hand of a supernatural trickster seeking entry to the mortal realm. The path to victory will risk their lives and the strange bond between them. But they must succeed, lest something awful escape into Rokugan.

"much like Night Parade, it’s a tie-in novel that draws upon all the depth and detail of a brilliant established world, but transcends what’s gone before to stand proud as just a wonderful, warm, characterful story." -- Track of Words
"An absolute 'must read' choice for fans of Samurai novels and Heroic Fantasy Fiction" -- Midwest Book Review
"A delightfully engrossing read, one that goes in some unexpected directions, and puts the characters and their struggles at the fore of everything." -- Trans-Scribe
"I had a wonderful time jumping back again into the world of Rokugan" -- Tsuri Sparkles
