Born into the prestigious yet cruel Edo-era clan, the son of the shōgun was raised in shadows — beaten, silenced, and broken by the very man meant to protect him. Escaping the castle as a boy, he wanders a path of pain, madness, and survival. But as years pass, and the scars deepen, he rises — not as a hero, but as a shōgun darker than his father ever was.
The first chapter of a tale full of fractured identities, inherited darkness, and the tragic cycle of power.
