“This was again a slow and meandering mystery”
– Susanna Reads
A Legend of the Five Rings Novel
Legend of the Five Rings’ debonair samurai detective Daidoji Shin returns to solve the fresh mystery of a surprise resurrection
When a long-lost member of the Lion Clan, Itagawa Mosu, seemingly returns from the dead to claim the hand of his betrothed, it’s up to Daidoji Shin to determine the truth of this miraculous reappearance. The Lion reluctantly permit Shin’s involvement, even if they have to let him plan the wedding as part of his investigation…
Shin must navigate dangerous political waters to discover if Mosu really is the man he claims to be, or is he a cleverly disguised imposter? It will take all of Shin’s charm, wit, and flair to find out before the wedding begins. And the guests are already starting to arrive.
The realm of Rokugan is a land of samurai, courtiers, and mystics, dragons, magic, and divine beings – a world of heroism, magic, and steel. The clans have defended and served the Emperor for a thousand years both on the battlefield and in Rokugan’s courts. While conflict and political intrigue divides the clans, the true threat awaits in the darkness of the Shadowlands, behind the vast Kaiu Wall. There, in the twisted wastelands, an evil corruption endlessly seeks the downfall of the empire. The rules of Rokugan’s society are absolute, and the Great Clans must always maintain their honor, lest they lose everything in the pursuit of glory.

“This was again a slow and meandering mystery”
– Susanna Reads
“A delightful read”
– A Dreaming Sky
“Coming back for a fourth Daidoji Shin novel, Josh Reynolds once again knocks it out of the park with Three Oaths.”
– Lauren’s Bookshelf
“Josh Reynolds way of writing Shin is honestly a delight.”
– What You Tolkien About
“Three Oaths left me wanting to read more in this series and from Josh Reynolds.”
– Kathryn’s Book Review
“Complex and fascinating I was once more drawn into the exploits of the exceptional Shin, who just might be being set up to have his wings clipped. Another intriguing read!”
– Eyes2C
“It goes without saying that a Daidoji Shin story will be a fantastic time for any reader—equal parts drawing room comedy and tense murder mystery.”
– Kara Dennison
“Death’s Kiss is another brilliant Rokugan story from Josh Reynolds, a fast-paced, intricately-plotted and highly rewarding journey through the Legend of the Five Rings setting, in the company of a charming, debonair protagonist with hidden depths and a knack for witty dialogue and amusing asides.”
Track of Words, on Death’s Kiss
“It’s a pleasure to follow the exploits of one of my favourite sleuths, Daidoji Shin… I love the voice of Shin – languid, biting, self deprecating – he slays me with his many humorous lines.”
