Blood and Silk

Edo period Japan is full of beauty-lethal beauty. Under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the three-hundred Daimyō, social order is strict, the country is isolationist, but culture and the arts flourish. Amongst it all a young man, born the seventh son of an impoverished farming family, leaves everything he's ever known in search of adventure, wealth, and a good wife. Stay on the path... Failing to heed his mother's dire warning Takashi soon discovers that the ancient yōkai of legend are much more than myth, and that not everything is always as it seems.
