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.
