The Warlord of Owari (9784805320723)

A wily warlord learns that the path to peace starts with an all-out off-with-their-heads samurai showdown.

The Tiger of Owari has fallen in battle—justice delivered at the end of a sword. In his place, a son, Nobunaga Oda, rises. But the upstart called the Fool of Owari only plays the part. All the time, a shrewd warlord and vicious tactician is forming.

His strategic marriage to the Viper of Mino adds power to his portfolio. When a brother's treachery threatens his growing domain, the family feud ends with a knife to the throat. In this novel of one of Japan's most famous samurai-era leaders, shifting alliances lead to an inevitable end. Ashigaru foot soldiers swarm like ants across a bloody landscape, storming the warlord's castle. For the son of the Tiger, the only option is to cut his rivals down.
