Publisher's Synopsis
Following Shogun Yoritomo's assassination, the threat of civil war looms over the Shima Imperium. The Lotus Guild conspires to renew the Shogun's broken dynasty and crush the growing rebellion. Yukiko is blinded by rage over her father's death, and her ability to hear the thoughts of beasts is swelling beyond her control. Along with Buruu, Yukiko's anchor is the rebel Guildsman Kin. But the boy has his own secrets, and is haunted by dreams of a future he'd rather die than see realized. And a new enemy gathers its strength, readying to push the fracturing Shima Imperium into war.
