Way of the Master John Kearney

On the eve of achieving everything he has always worked for, Yukihiro finds his world suddenly shattered. Gentle Sensei Naha, who had been both teacher and father to him, has expelled him from the dojo in a blind and inexplicable rage. The darkly beautiful Aki, who had promised to become his wife, has been carried off by the insatiable warlord Takara. And Yukihiro, only yesterday his provinces most celebrated young warrior, now finds himself in exile, disguised in beggars rags, searching for answers. To uncover them, and to survive the mortal challenges his enemies have in store, he will have to go beyond all he knows of the way of the warrior, and begin to grasp the way of the master.
