About The Book

The 28th Tournament of the Five Rings has reached its final battle: Crimson Mask, the ruthless warrior, versus Sakima, the unyielding Empress. Everything points to an epic showdown with no mercy—and only one will survive. But this final duel will decide more than just who claims the imperial throne. Owada’s prophecy spoke of another path: Sakima’s path. And, now, we stand at the crossroads shaped by a promise kept.

About The Authors

Inaki Miranda earned a degree in fine arts and established a place for himself in the comics industry, collaborating with DC Comics for more than a decade on such titles as Coffin Hill, Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Batman Beyond. In 2024 he received an Eisner nomination as Best Artist for his work in Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons, which was also nominated as Best Miniseries. In 2020, Inaki and his brother Roy joined their creative minds and published the Eisner-nominated hit WE LIVE. Different life paths that met in the territory of ideas and narration. The Brothers watched the same films, played the same video games, read the same comics and shared the same Star Wars and He-Man figures. Their imaginative impulses led them to create stories together… as if they were returning to that messy bedroom they shared as children.

Roy Miranda hails from both the music industry and the stage. He supplements his long carreer as a Hip Hop singer--in bands such as LEFlaco, Roy Mercurio, Dremen, La Zurda--with his job as a Creative Director. In 2020, Roy and his brother Inaki joined their creative minds and published the Eisner nominated hit WE LIVE. Different life paths that met in the territory of ideas and narration. The Brothers watched the same films, played the same video games, read the same comics and shared the same Star Wars and He-Man figures. Their imaginative impulses led them to create stories together… as if they were returning to that messy bedroom they shared as children.
