In this second book of a three-book series, Miyamoto Musashi's heroic tale continues as he transforms from an egotistical ruffian with no plan or direction to a master swordsman. Filled with episodes of exciting duels, his travels throughout Japan, and the memorable characters he meets along the way, Musashi is revealed to be a flawed hero, a genius with the sword who dispatches pretenders one after another with minimal effort yet finds little pleasure in it.
