Kaneko Ripped from the only life he has ever known by wakō pirates, Kaneko is thrust into the shadows of Bara where beauty and danger intertwine. Sold into servitude, he is forced to bend beneath the will of others. Yet in secret, he is shaped into something far deadlier than anyone suspects. Kaneko must decide who he will become: a weapon, a protector…or something more. Yoshi Determined to save the one he loves, Yoshi embarks on the disciplined path of the Samurai. Under the watchful eye of his mentors, he learns that honor is more than ceremony and that every strike must carry purpose. Yet even as his blade steadies, Yoshi's heart falters.
