The life of a shinobi is, at its best, a selfless devotion to duty.
In modern day Japan, the ninja legends live on in a grim saga of
political maneuverings, betrayal, sexual abuse, torture
and homoeroticism.
The Shinobi clans lurk in the shadows, performing services that not
even the hardened Yakuza will touch. Takahashi Yoshi fulfills his duty
with soul-stripping resolve, each assignment driving a nail into a
coffin of lost faith. After years of sexual abuse and torture
in the name of clan honor, Yoshi must learn to trust, but the man
who offers him hope is himself flawed. Sasaki Makoto has spent a career
in torture and interrogation, exploring not only the dark secrets
of his clan's enemies, but also the darkness within his own heart.
How far must Yoshi run to escape his shame and torment?
And what price freedom when fear and self-loathing threaten to upend
the hard fought struggle to find meaning and safety in a world
fraught with danger.
Yoshi seeks time and space, only to find himself once more at the mercy
of power mongers and despots. When Makoto finds him, Yoshi is broken
in more than body. Near death, his spirit recedes to find safety within,
locking out all who care.
They say time will heal but the path to acceptance is never easy, the
roadblocks many, and none will emerge unscathed as Yoshi embarks on
a struggle for balance.
