There are places in the world found on no map or chart. They lie in the human mind, each its own singularity. No vast landscapes or mythical beasts. the human mind, a child’s mind, can hold unspeakable horrors. It is in this realm our warrior walked for decades. He earned his living killing nightmares where they live, and then found himself cut off, cast out, and driven nearly mad in grief and shock. With powerful and dangerous tools and unconventional methods, he navigates this new world of horrors starkly contrasted with heights of joy and hopeful promise for the future. The samurai is transformed, in the crucible of pain beyond enduring, into a paladin.
