Astonishingly violent - SHOGUN ASSASSIN tells the story of Lone Wolf, a powerful and feared 'Masterless' Samurai who lives a peaceful existence with his wife and his son. When he refuses to swear allegiance to Kurando, the most vicious Shogun in Japanese history, Kurando orders the death of Lone Wolf's wife, Azame.
