Enter The Samurai

At the edge of nowhere, Imperial Detention Camp 242 turns its prisoners into zombies known as deaders.

Cora Pierson spent her life learning the necrosonic arts, working with tamed deaders, and escaping her wasteland upbringing. Just when she thought her fellow necros accepted her, they locked her up instead. She's been taught necros can't turn deader, so why does she have all the symptoms?

John Skye trusts only two things in life: his luck and his gun. He wasn't the war hero his brother was, but he never expected his commander's betrayal and a court marshal. He's escaped from plenty of hopeless situations before, but has his luck finally run out?

When their jailbreak goes sideways, Cora and Skye release the camp's most dangerous prisoner, a lunatic calling himself Kikuchiyo, the infamous Blood Weeper. With the Imperial army in pursuit and the Badlands curse transforming their flesh, they'll have to flee across the Badland's deadly border. What they discover on the other side will change the afterlife forever.

If the Blood Weeper doesn't kill them first.

Enter the Samurai is the third book in the gritty post-apocalyptic Badlands Born fantasy series. If you like chaotic manhunts, savage shoot-outs, and page-turning swordplay, then you'll love Wade Peterson's dark fantasy novel.
