With confidential Nue files having been leaked to their enemies at Kuchinawa, a search is underway for the traitor who provided the information.

Asahi has been kidnapped by Janome, and loyalties are called into question all throughout Nue. Will Yukimura be able to save her adopted sister in time? And will her employers in the Tokugawa government even let her try?

Its become clear that Nue agents dont leave the shoguns service and live to tell the tale, so its up to Asahi to find a way for Sawa to break free of the life of violence shes become trapped in.

Sawas brief respite from the cycle of violence has been irreversibly shattered. But even if she defeats the monster who brought an end to her dream, will she have anything left afterwards?

Jin Kuzuhara is the ruthless, enigmatic head of the shoguns personal group of assassins, Nue. But how did he come to serve the Tokugawa regime? And what is his secret connection to Sawa?
