Summary

Set in feudal Japan between the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, the story follows Hojo Takatoki, a young boy whose life is turned upside down when the Kamakura shogunate is overthrown by Ashikaga Takauji. With his family and status viciously stripped away, Takatoki becomes a fugitive, forced to flee to the far reaches of the land. Determined to survive and seek revenge, he navigates the treacherous landscape of medieval Japan, honing his skills and gathering allies along the way.

Takatoki's journey is fraught with danger as he evades those who seek to end his lineage. Alongside a self-proclaimed prophetic priest, he embarks on a quest to reclaim his rightful place and restore the Kamakura Shogunate to its former glory. This tale of survival, betrayal, and redemption documents the life of a forgotten hero who altered Japan's destiny through his relentless determination and unyielding spirit.
