Kami is living a peaceful family life, far away from the samurai and their ways, and far away from the troubles of his past. Or so he thinks. Through happenstance he has the opportunity to take on an apprentice, and finds himself drawn back into the world of the samurai.
His past decision to abandon his clan is not without consequence, even in the distant lands of Ryukyu. His former clan have plans for him, plans that will lead Kami into battle once more, this time with his family at stake. Old friends and new enemies are about to arrive to provide Kami with his greatest challenge yet: survival.
