The Abe clan and its allies are in full rebellion. When the Emperor's
greatest military leader, Yoshii, is targeted for assassination by
magic, it is up to the newly sober Lord Yamada and his exorcist
associate Kenji to keep the young man alive long enough to put down
the uprising before the entire country is consumed by war. Yamada
knows how to deal with demons, monsters, and angry ghosts, but the
greatest threat of all is one final assassin, hidden in a place where
no one -- especially Lord Yamada -- would ever think to look.
