AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Dragon Stone is filled with characters from Japanese folklore and mythology, and continues the chronicles of Idzumo, old Japan.

'Once more the evil Lord Marishoten tries to obtain universal power and to seize the Chrysanthemum Throne - this time through possession of the Dragon Stone. "Fashioned in blood and fire and hate and death," the Dragon Stone brings to its holder power over the wills of men. Tied to the Stone are the dreaded Fuma, dark winds of hell, creatures of the Hag of the Three Ways...

'Once more, Prince Hachi, Lord-Eight-Thousand-Spears, leads the Mikado's kinsfolk to his rescue and defence.' (Source: Bookseller)
