by Billy Tucci with Craig Shaw Gardner
The time of Battle is upon us. Ana Ishikawa dons the ancient Kyoto armor her mother had forsaken as she attempts to halt the Nara Sohei once and for all. One by one the Nara assassins are sought out and destroyed, and Shi will finally purge New York of such bloodshed. She will duel against the leader of the black-cloaked warriors atop the Queensborough/59th Street Bridge. But Ana's best friend, the lethally beautiful Tomoe, leads the Nara. Tomoe's mantra is that of the butterfly, and she wields her bladed war-fans in a delicate-but-deadly sweep of a song. Bound by honor, a broken-hearted Tomoe must deliver the head of Shi to the ruthless Yakuza crime lord, Masahiro Arashi. Stinging rain and striking lighting slash as embattled friends clash 400 feet above the East River in an incredible dance of death. There will be only one victor, but two lives will be destroyed.
The Illustrated Warrior combines the best aspects of
New York Times best-selling author Craig Shaw Gardner's novelized verse and
Shi creator Billy Tucci's dynamic and richly detailed illustrations.
Warrior is based on the legendary
Way of the Warrior story arc but with an added twist that forever alters the
Shi universe we've all come to know.
