A new moon hangs in Rokugan’s sky, tribute to the courage of an empire, but beneath it, Rokugan boils with blood and falls to darkness. Shadows and skeletons are all that remain of Rokugan’s past – tattered memories and crumbling walls. The Burning Words have been fulfilled. Even the gold of the Imperial Palace no longer shines beneath the sunless sky, and the Emperor drowns in his own blood, betrayed by an innocent man. All that remains is the last nightfall, crushed in the grasp of the first Goju’s iron fist.

Beneath a rising moon, the Emperor has been betrayed by the ambition of an innocent man…
In the darkness of the empty Phoenix lands, the Emperor’s final battle begins. Toturi’s last enemy is the Master of the Shadow, and the prize is no less than his very soul. To the south, the Shadowlands writhe and howl as oni climb the Great Kaiu Wall, sweeping the Lion and Crab forces who remain to hold the line. Defeated by the Phoenix, the shattered Alliance retreats beyond the gates of the Emperor’s city. An army of Dark Moto march beside the maho-users of the Bloodspeakers, destined to engage in a bloody battle to decide teh ultimate fate of the Unicorn. One by one, the elements bleed, and their wrath shakes the foundation of the heavens, threatening to tear apart the true Tao and destroy its wisdom forever. And from the Iron Mountains of the Dragon, a mighty army marches, joining its strength with the Great Clans who prepare to travel into the heart of darkness, into the maw of the Shadowlands.
These may be the final days of the Jade Empire….
Iron Mountain
Strong in their mountain keep, the Clan of the Dragon has a new Champion, and a bright moon hangs in the silver sky. The tattooed Dragon clan gathers beneath its gaze, ready to fight the Shadow with the secrets they hold. They are the last of the ize zumi and the beginning of a new family within the Empire. They are also the only ones who know the truth….
Kyuden Kitsune
The Mantis banner is tattered, and Yoritomo’s control over the minor clans is splintering. Inspired by the deeds of the Crane general, Daidoji Uji, the Fox have stood their ground against all who denied them. In this most desperate hour, they must face the final battle alone. If courage alone makes a hero, then the samurai of the Fox will live forever.
Temples of the Crow
Takao, Master of the Five, has commanded the Brotherhood to search the Empire. One half of the true Tao has been recovered, but half has been stolen, taken by the Darkness whispering from the gates of death. Without it, Jigoku will fall forever to emptiness and shadow. The torn eyes of a mad prophet foretell the death of an Empire.
