Description
by Eiji Yoshikawa (Author), Yuki Taguchi (Translator)
Loyalty. Vengeance. The vow that shook Japan.
When Lord Asano is forced to take his own life, forty-seven of his loyal samurai are cast adrift-masterless, disgraced, and forbidden by law to seek revenge. Yet in the shadows of Genroku-era Edo, they plot the impossible: to strike back against the powerful lord who destroyed their master.
47 Ronin is a tale of courage and betrayal, of secret oaths and relentless resolve. Eiji Yoshikawa's epic brings you inside a world where the line between justice and vengeance vanishes-and where honor is worth more than life itself.
Discover the legend. Live the vow. Enter the world of 47 Ronin.
