Japan’s monastic warriors have fared poorly in comparison to the samurai, both in terms of historical reputation and representations in popular culture. Often maligned and criticized for their involvement in politics and other secular matters, they have been seen as figures separate from the larger military class. However, as Mikael Adolphson reveals in his comprehensive and authoritative examination of the social origins of the monastic forces, political conditions, and warfare practices of the Heian (794–1185) and Kamakura (1185–1333) eras, these "monk-warriors"(sôhei) were in reality inseparable from the warrior class. Their negative image, Adolphson argues, is a construct that grew out of artistic sources critical of the established temples from the fourteenth century on. In deconstructing the sôhei image and looking for clues as to the characteristics, role, and meaning of the monastic forces, The Teeth and Claws of the Buddha highlights the importance of historical circumstances; it also points to the fallacies of allowing later, especially modern, notions of religion to exert undue influence on interpretations of the past. It further suggests that, rather than constituting a separate category of violence, religious violence needs to be understood in its political, social, military, and ideological contexts.

For a millennium, Dragonstones atop the world's pyramids have prevented the Orc Gods from returning and re-enslaving mankind. Now, a brewing war in a vibrant port between its squabbling council of lords and resurgent crime families puts one pyramid at risk. Only Cassius Larusso can assemble a team to end the impending threat. A descendant of the Diviner who first banished the Orc Gods, he might be convinced to act-- as long as it fills his coffers with gold, his stomach with delicious food, and his bed with a different type of delicacy. Unfortunately, his choice of companions is limited to the poor souls who come seeking his sometimes fraudulent divinations: A half-elf spy tracking an assassin. A sorceress searching a traitor. A paladin pursuing his forbidden love. If he can trick coax them into putting aside their own agendas and taking up his own, Cassius might be able to stave off a war, secure his city, and write his own destiny. If not, what begins as a back-alley battle may bring about the downfall of every nation in Tivara.
