After losing his beloved, an infamous and highly skilled ronin teams up with a washed-out ex-knight, a death-seeking viking, and a far-too-kind ogre on a quest to make the world a better place. Yet Takeo knows something they do not. Although the goal is worthy, he is not. No great accomplishment comes without sacrifice, and who better to sacrifice than the wicked and the wretched.

Never in living memory has Juatwa come so close to being united. Only two shoguns remain, each backed by a clever and tenacious general. Countless will be sacrificed, but Takeo did not come this far to give up now, especially when pitted against the likes of Qadir. Sometimes, to kill a disease, the entire wound must be doused in flames.

There exist few men with a story as pitiful as Takeo Karaoshi’s. The wandering ronin has less of a reason to live than most. He has but one companion now, an ex-knight and former enemy named Gavin Shaw. But it’s hard to keep a heartless rogue and a drunken bastard down. They set out on a quest so ambitious that were they men with anything left to lose, they would surely turn away.

In a world filled with dangerous creatures of terrifying power, a courageous girl will grow from a naïve farmer’s daughter into a legendary warrior the likes of which her world has never known. Emily’s Saga follows a heroine for the ages, Emily stout, who will decide not only her own fate, but that of her world.
