But the Hojo clan is in decline, and Tokiyuki’s peaceful days of playing hide-and-seek with his teachers come to an abrupt end when his clan is betrayed from within. The lone survivor of his family, Tokiyuki is the rightful heir to the throne, but to take it back, he’ll have to do what he does best—run away!After several setbacks, Tokiyuki and his retainers retreat to the mountains of Shinano.

Holding this mountain stronghold against Takauji’s forces won’t be easy, especially when an old enemy of Tokiyuki’s appears once again. Though Tokiyuki outwitted him many times in years past, the All-Seeing Demon, Ogasawara Sadamune, isn’t about to let Tokiyuki slip through his fingers!
