Power-hungry warlord Silver Wolf plots against Moonshadow and the Grey Light Order.
His schemes could tear Japan apart and the legendary mystic, the White Nun, is caught in the middle. To reach the White Nun’s haunted mountain home, Moon and Snowhawk must survive Silver Wolf’s living weapons: bounty hunters, a vengeful gangster and powerful Clan Fuma agents.
Among them is Chikuma, an assassin who uses no force, weapons or poisons - but may prove the most lethal enemy they’ve encountered yet.
Will Silver Wolf’s wrath destroy Japan’s guardians of peace?
