Lord Baku Book 2: Festival of Swords in Bloomington, MN

At the appointed time Baku crosses the seas to participate in the quinquennial Festival of Swords. All contests are fights to the death and he is initially ridiculed because he is seen as a crippled warrior - a completely unacceptable contradiction to his watching peers. Baku must overcome this opposition if he is to attain the goals he secretly desires.
