This historical fiction novel depicts life and survival in turn of the 15th century Japan with a brutal eye.
In the Time of Warring States, one man, Kibara Yasuhiro no Mitsuna,
finds his revenge, redemption and salvation as he witnesses the
unification of an Empire while his clan vanishes from existence tracing
a journey through the back avenues of late 14h century Japan. We are
taken on a Candidesque journey through the eyes of a master-less
Samurai, the ashes of history, the devastation, which is civil
conflict.
After betrayal, death, murder, loss, love, lust, destruction, and
suffering— reduced to nothing— he rebuilds what little is left of his
life, and in doing so finds new meaning as to what Life truly is.
The story is a precisely crafted complex allegory about self-discovery
and enlightenment, and contains the mythical themes necessary to
concoct such a Hero, a wounded warrior, suffering from PTSD, who acts
as avatar to the reader.
