Assassin Emamori Matsukara has already broken her code once. She will not allow this to happen again. After a year of punishment, she returns home to find that her leaders have chosen a dangerous path: becoming allies of the Faction, a brutal organization that is leading the country to war. Protecting the clan is her main responsibility. Supporting tyrants deprived of honor? No way. Ema needs to prove her loyalty to the clan, and she is given a task: to kill a rebel who has targeted the leaders of the Faction. She has to agree. An order is an order. But when the High Lord arrives to oversee the mission, he reveals a terrible truth, shattering everything she believed about her true purpose. A promise is broken, honor is no longer sacred, and trust is scattered like flower petals. The world she once- she knew it was getting darker, and Ema needed to find a way to stop the Faction from taking over her clan and breaking up the country. And it might turn out that the one she was ordered to kill could help her in this...
