The disfigured legends of the blade must summon the strength for one last battle, a final lesson in the artistry of violence where nothing is more beautiful than the kill.
Years before the tournament, Gennosuke Fujiki was the stoic star pupil of the Kogan dojo, and Seigen Irako was a brash young samurai seeking fame and an audience with the dojo's master. After disgracing Gennosuke on his own turf, Seigen must next face a superior foe to earn the right to meet the sensei. The battle is the most difficult of his young life, and a dark secret waits for him at the journey's end.
