Legend of the Five Rings: Poison River

- EN

A charming slacker aristocrat discovers a talent for detection
and a web of conspiracies in the Emerald Empire, in this snappy
novel set in the fantastical world of Legend of the Five Rings
Daidoji Shin, unrepentant wastrel with a taste for scandal and dice, coasts
through his role as Crane Clan’s trade envoy in the City of the Rich Frog.
But when a case of poisoned rice threatens the brittle peace between the
competing clans, the Imperial Governor drags Shin from his indolence and
orders him to fi nd the culprit. Despite himself, Shin uncovers an intriguing
conspiracy involving more than just dead rats. A murder with no body and
a missing actress present a distraction that could fi nally make Shin put in
a full day’s work, and maybe even save the city from tearing itself apart.
