...Edo. The new capital of Japan, which has not yet had time to lick the bloody wounds of a brutal civil war. The stronghold of the Tokugawa clan, which by force and cunning wrested power from the hands of the heirs of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Here you still cannot trust anyone - neither friend nor enemy, for everyone capable of hiding a dagger or a vial of poison in his sleeve. And now death seems to threaten the shogun himself. His people are convinced that the hired killer simply missed, shooting the adviser standing next to Tokugawa Ieyasu. And only the ronin Matsuyama Kaze, who wholeheartedly hates the Tokugawa clan and his henchmen, guesses how and why this crime happened...
