In war-torn medieval Japan, a young samurai lord struggles to retake
his throne, but not by fighting. Hojo Tokiyuki will reclaim his
birthright by running away!
In medieval Japan, eight-year-old Hojo Tokiyuki is the heir to the
Kamakura shogunate. 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!
Tokiyuki has revealed himself as the Hojo heir to Yorishige's allies and
supporters at last. The time has come for Suwa province to march against
Ashikaga Takauji and the Mikado. Alongside Yorishige, Tokiyuki now rides
at the head of the army in a move to retake Kamakura for the Hojo clan.
But there is still much hard fighting ahead, and the next obstacle is
the Kanto Hisashiban, a group of dazzling--and unusual--young warriors
who serve Takauji!
