Taro’s peaceful life ends the night a ruthless warlord destroys his family. Lost in the misty forests of Mount Fuji, the young Samurai is taken in by Yama Uba, a ghostly crone, and befriended by Tanuki, a mischievous shape-shifter. Haunted by his past and driven by vengeance, Taro embarks on an epic journey to reclaim his destiny.
In a world where honor clashes with ambition, Taro faces ferocious Yokai—ghosts, goblins, and mythical beasts—and joins forces with Kamehime, the fierce daughter of a rival warlord. As civil war threatens the empire, Taro must decide what it truly means to be Samurai, even if it means losing his humanity.
Will Taro rise to become Japan’s legend, or will the shadows of Old Japan claim him forever?
