Ashigura's army is poised to put an end to Shinzen's dream of conquering Japan.

He has spent the last third of his life studying and training within the peaceful Order of the mysterious Shaolin Monks; a decision that has turned Ashigura against him. As Ashigura wins victory on the battlefield, he is unaware that a much greater evil is on the horizon. 24 pages, full color. Cover price $2.99.
