Murasa. Warrior. Protector. Father. Traitor. Blood must pay for blood, but sometimes the only thing left is sorrow.
For hundreds of years, the Tengus, half-crow half human swordsmen, sworn protectors of mankind, have fought against the Oni giants till their very last breath. Now the order is crumbling under the heel of one man. A man Murasa had once called his father, had loved and respected from the bottom of his heart.
Fought alongside Murasa. Kill besides the Tengus as he cleaved through foes, yokais and humans alike. With the help of a woman from foreign lands, he survived unimaginable things and together found out the hard way that the battlefield of love is no easier than that of blood.
Wage through countless foes alongside the Tengu until the day his world is shredded apart and he was ultimately forced to took the blade to what he most held dear.
Sometimes someone must do the unspeakable. And this time it’s him.

Prologue 1


As many of my readers may have noticed, this is a part from my short story, "Crows Amidst Giants". "When Crows Cawed" is a full novel version written from that short story, and most of the novel's
prologue are the same as the short story, albeit with some rewrites and changes. Enjoy!

Prologue 2


Ever since this part onward, the story have been rewritten to quite a great extent, so I'd recommend anyone who had read the short story, "Crows Amidst Giants" already, to read from this second
part of the prologue as well. Enjoy!

Prologue 3


The final part of the prologue that resembled the short story, "Crows Amidst Giants". Be warned, though, that there is a new section at the end of the prologue which is not the same as the short
story, and which will lead to the main story and chapter 1 of this book. So even though you've read my earlier short story, be sure to read this prologue.
