Black Wolf: A Samurai Tale

by Sean McCready

Overview

Black Wolf: A Samurai Tale is an historical novel set amongst the chaos of Sengoku-era Japan, a period of warring states that marked the proto-nation's emergence from ancient feudalism into the modern world. Informed by the samurai ethos of bushido and the venerable traditions of Shinto mythology, the action-oriented novel unravels the mystery of a great man's death as it probes the passions that bind human beings together, the hidden obsessions that drive the beasts within us, and the elusive meanings that are revealed in the stories we alternately choose to hear or ignore.
