Japan, 1704. In an elegant mansion a young woman named Tsuruhime
lies on her deathbed, attended by her nurse. Smallpox pustules
cover her face. Incense burns, to banish the evil spirits of
disease. After Tsuruhime takes her last breath, the old woman
watching from the doorway says, "Who's going to tell the Shogun his
daughter is dead?"
The death of the Shogun's daughter has immediate consequences on
his regime. There will be no grandchild to leave the kingdom. Faced
with his own mortality and beset by troubles caused by the recent
earthquake, he names as his heir Yoshisato, the seventeen-year-old
son he only recently discovered was his. Until five months ago,
Yoshisato was raised as the illegitimate son of Yanagisawa, the
shogun's favorite advisor. Yanagisawa is also the longtime enemy of
Sano Ichiro.
Sano doubts that Yoshisato is really the Shogun's son, believing
it's more likely a power-play by Yanagisawa. When Sano learns that
Tsuruhime's death may have been a murder, he sets off on a
dangerous investigation that leads to more death and destruction as
he struggles to keep his pregnant wife, Reiko, and his son safe.
Instead, he and his family become the accused. And this time, they
may not survive the day. Laura Joh Rowland's thrilling series set
in Feudal Japan is as gripping and entertaining as ever.
