“The cloud of white blossoms floated just above the tents and teaming thousands as though the land itself had unfurled its standard. It was early morning on the second day of the siege of Rhojo-ma, though not an arrow had been loosed nor a sword drawn other than to test its edge. A fast boat sailed along the lake’s northern shore out of range of barbarian bows. Toshaki Shinga wished he were in that boat himself. He desperately wanted to look into the faces of his enemy, see them for what they we...re, though he could not explain this impulse. The barbarian rafts lined the shore and the men of Seh waited. The wind was not terribly strong, but it would gather its reserves intermittently and send a great gust down the lake and this might be what was stopping the expected attack.

The men who sailed along the shore had reported that there were pirates in number among the barbarian warriors.MoreLessRead More Read Less
