"Simultaneously published in Great Britain by Tor, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited"--Title page verso.

"The mad Shōgun Yoritomo has been assassinated by the Stormdancer Yukiko, and the threat of civil war looms over the Shima Imperium. The toxic blood lotus flower continues to ravage the land, the deadlands splitting wider by the day. The machine-worshippers of the Lotus Guild conspire to renew the nation's broken dynasty and crush the growing rebellion simultaneously--by endorsing a new Shōgun who desires nothing more than to see Yukiko dead"--Dust jacket flap.
