Immerse yourself in medieval Japan with 'Shiké', Robert Shea's masterpiece. This historical novel tells the intense love story between Jebu, a zinja warrior monk, and Taniko, a woman married to a cruel man. Through their relationship, the differences between social classes and codes of conduct are explored. Jebu faces a Mongol monk and participates in wars between clans, offering a vivid fresco of the medieval Far East. Originally published in two volumes, 'The Last of the Zinja' and 'Time of Dragons', 'Shiké' is a thrilling read that combines love, politics and religion in a fascinating historical context.
