This is the second installment in a story of struggles between r¿nin and followers of the Edo sh¿gun. It's an action-packed work of historical fictional about masterless warriors, police detectives, and undercover agents in Kyoto, Japan's old capital, during the early Edo period. In the late summer of 1654, the streets of Kyoto are flooded with the masterless warriors known as r¿nin. Unable to find work and dissatisfied with their lot, some r¿nin have chosen to live as outlaws. The most notorious of the bunch is the young and murderous Ishida Kur¿bei, self-styled Shining Blade. For weeks, undercover government agents led by Deputy Inspector Tanaka had been tracking Kur¿bei. Finally, they'd cornered him, and, in the struggle that ensued, a female agent had landed a crippling blow to the head of the r¿nin before collapsing herself. Tanaka had discovered the wounded Kur¿bei lying alongside the lifeless body of his female agent. Wasting no time, the deputy inspector had arrested the unconscious Kur¿bei and had delivered him in shackles to the guarded emergency clinic at Second Street Castle. The following morning, and the deputy inspector is summoned to the office of Magistrate Gomi, his boss's superior. Gomi informs him that Kur¿bei had regained consciousness overnight and, with outside help, had escaped. In the absence of Tanaka's immediate superior-Commissioner Wada, who is away on business-the magistrate charges Tanaka with capturing the criminal once again. Shimada Gor¿, a senior r¿nin who formerly had served Kur¿bei's father, now deceased, goes looking for Kur¿bei and finds the fugitive in the abandoned barn where r¿nin recruits have learning to fight. Gor¿ attempts to dissuade Kur¿bei from his murderous intention to lead a r¿nin uprising, arguing that Kur¿bei's wrath serves no purpose. Meanwhile, a young firewood carrier named Aki is determined to figure out what's going on in her world. Intrepid and curious by nature, Aki has many questions. For one, she wonders why her teacher, the nun Bunkai, is so concerned about the simple task she asks Aki to perform, carrying secret letters in the bundles of kindling that she delivers around town. Bunkai has cautioned Aki, explaining that the task might put her in harm's way. When Aki tells the nun that she sympathizes with the masterless warriors, Bunkai warns Aki about the r¿nin, saying that they cause troubles across the realm and that the Edo shogunal government protects the people from violent warriors with no master. Aki responds, expressing sympathy for r¿nin who face hardships and restrictions imposed by the sh¿gun and his Edo officials. What Aki will soon learn is that Shining Blade is quite close and her deliveries put her in danger.
