About this audiobook

In a fractured Japan during the Sengoku Jidai—an age of endless war, treachery, and lost honor—a man with no name walks north. His sword is broken. His loyalty is buried. His story is only beginning. Once a samurai of the noble Tsukimura clan, Riku no Kuro now wanders as a ronin. Branded a traitor and hunted by a corrupt new regime, he carries nothing but a ruined blade and a memory too heavy to discard. But in exile, he discovers a forgotten rite: the Tetsumei, an ancient oath that binds a warrior’s soul to his weapon. Through this ritual, Riku is no longer just a man—he becomes a blade forged in silence. Joined by Yuki no Tora, a cynical outlaw archer, and Lady Hanae, the daughter of the slain daimyo, Riku embarks on a path that cuts through haunted villages, ruined temples, and ash-laden fields where the dead never rest. What begins as a personal journey turns into a quiet rebellion against the Cult of the Cycle, a secretive sect led by Rensei ...
