A samurai rider charges through the streets of the Japanese capital, carrying urgent news: After his triumph at the Battle of Kurikawa Pass, the Genji general Kiso Yoshinaka is approaching the capital with 50,000 troops. But lying in wait for Kiso is a new challenge: a wily and scheming Retired Emperor who is not prepared to give up his power so easily.
