A thrilling epic fantasy adventure in the astonishing realm of Legend of the Five Rings, as two rival clans join forces to investigate a lethal supernatural mystery

Chaos has broken out in the isolated Dragon Clan settlement of Seibo Mura. During the full moon, horrifying creatures rampage through the village, unleashing havoc and death.

Editorial Reviews

"The fascinating and rather beautiful way that Marie has presented the culture and world of Rokugan drew me in and kept me turning the page."

Big Geordie Geek

"Brennan imbues both of her very different samurai with very different but excellent characters, and the setting with just the right amount of intrigue to keep the readers' attention... It's all really well done and made me smile at the very end – a lot of fun and highly enjoyable."

Garik16’s SFF Reviews

"While The Night Parade of 100 Demons could certainly be read purely as an enjoyable exploration of how the Legend of the Five Rings world works, in truth it transcends its tie-in roots to deliver a powerful, emotional tale of loyalty, honour, duty and love."
