His village was burned to the ground.
His father and mother were slaughtered before his very eyes.
But he was only a peasant.
In the Kamakura Period, power belonged to the samurai. The Shogun of the Minamoto clan sat upon the military throne, while the Hojo clan ruled the nation from the shadows. Amid endless territorial wars and struggles for dominance, one small village vanished without meaning.
Without consequence.
Without a name.
Except to one man who survived.
Akihiro Kurogane.
From ash and blood, he rose. He trained under an exiled ronin. He forged alliances with bandits. He recruited fishermen, spies, and a former slave woman sharper than any blade ever forged.
He does not seek revenge alone.
He seeks to tear down the very system that allowed his family to die without a name.
