A Spring of War.

Doji Hoturi, the young Champion of the Crane, is everything a samurai could wish to be: swift of sword and pure of heart... but his eyes hide a terrible secret.

Bloody magic whispers through Rokugan's greatest cities, and the undead servants of a Dark God rise. From the shadows, Doji Hoturi watches as a new champion of evil lifts his sword and laughs - and the face beneath the armor is his own.

The Dragon Rises!

For a thousand years and more, the world's most mysterious clan has dwelt secluded in its mountain fortress.  Wrapped in tattoos and riddles, the Dragon has watched and waited until the time for revelation is right.  Until now.

What draws them out?  Whispers have always said that the Great Dragon would emerge only at the end of the world.

He Has Emerged.
