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! The Battle of Ishizu is over, and Tokiyuki and Akiie's forces are in retreat. Despite heavy losses, Tokiyuki's efforts in support of the Southern Court do not go unnoticed or unrewarded, and Emperor Go-Daigo bestows an important honor upon him. Ever the optimist, Tokiyuki then joins a seaborne operation with the goal of invading Kanto and Oshu. The journey will be dangerous and made even riskier by a clash of spiritual power between Shizuku and Mima
