Prologue:
Maji was a world fusing East and West cultures, during an era before the emergence of the steam engine. In this world, the sword was the ultimate weapon and brought order to the planet under the Emperor. The Shogun was the highest ranking military officer who was just under the Emperor in power. The Shogun along with the Shogunate, military officers with the title overlords, reigned supreme over the citizens of the one world empire. Each overlord ruled a clan, and each clan was made up of Samurai Houses. Each samurai or lord and their house owed their allegiance to only one overlord who was their master. The Samurai were the military nobility and officer caste, and they ruled over a province for their overlord in this social class system. The empire was broken down into regions, which under the authority of the Emperor and Shogun, were ruled by the overlords. Regions were made up of provinces under the rule of a Samurai Lord. Provinces were further broken down into towns governed by governors. The samurai families of the House of Shakudzuru, which bore the symbol of the Red-crowned Crane, and the House of Nishikigoi, which bore the symbol of the koi, were longtime allies. Their provinces bordered one another, and their house would come to the aid of the other against bandits or rival overlords and their samurai. Maji was enjoying a time of peace and prosperity. Rivalries between overlords were fought with words and speeches on the floor of the Shogunate House and not on the battlefield. Bandits were still a problem but usually only in the remote areas. Peace seemed a thing of everlasting existence, and war was perceived as a mythical beast that only lived in the legends of the past.

The Samurai were the military nobility and officer caste, and they ruled over a province for their overlord in this social class system. A game of shadows surrounds the House of Shakudzuru that might bring about its downfall. Forgiveness or revenge? With hints of samurai cyberpunk, it will come down to matters of the heart. The Ronin will face opponents in Samurai Shodown or challenges in this Illustrated Gumshoe Samurai Mystery Action Adventure Detective Saga which includes A Little History Of Japan Through Images and an Art Gallery with drawings and painting like illustrations. The epic fantasy world of Maji includes elements from the classic samurai movies with their sword battles, ninja assassins, and multiverse of characters that are quirky and memorable. Inspired by great tales of heroism like the Seven Samurai, cowboy mystery books, and mysteries set forth in other stories like Yojimbo and Sanjuro. Sherlock Holmes has his London and the Ronin his Japan. I also incorporated elements from other great mystery detectives and private eye or sleuths like Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. As a young adult, the Ronin must outwit dangerous opponents in this samurai novel. With slices and dices of sword and sorcery weaved together to create a colorful tapestry of intriguing high fantasy realms within this parallel universe, it should be entertaining. Could the Ronin be the Sherlock Holmes of Japan or the Hercule Poirot of Japan? I write for a general audience so my books are a good read from young adult ( ya books ) through to adult. The samurai book covers a multitude of genres including elements of science fiction, horror, action adventure, and mystery thriller suspense. I love fairy tales and incorporated ideas from a few so that there is also a magical atmosphere floating around in the background of this samurai fiction. There might not be a magic sword in this novel but there is plenty of heroic fantasy to enjoy. I love the samurai manga especially the artwork so it's there too. The blade is not the only weapon in this magical realism world. There is also a power that bestows curses and blessings in this post-apocalyptic universe. Journey with the Ronin in this mythic fiction fantasy, not to slay dragons but to discover evildoers. Supernatural forces are at work but are they good or evil? In this young adult survival book alternate reality, the Ronin must face adversity and humor in the bygone years of the United States' Wild West meets the Edo period of Japan. Horo-sha has a dreaded enemy from the past and must solve the shinobi mysteries. Blend shinobi history with supernatural mystery and suspense and create a mystery suspense thriller dystopian rollercoaster.
