Description
The journey of vengeance in blood and honor continues. Under the itinerant thumb of Yagyu Retsudo, the Shogun's secret ninja warriors, the Kurokuwa clan, attempt to ensnare Ogami. Can the Lone Wolf break the chains? If so, there are many in line behind Yagyu waiting to challenge the masterful swordsman, such as a vengeful widow, the police, and the freezing cold of winter itself.
Also included are the story of Ogami's rise to the position of the Shogun's Officer of Death, the seething root of Retsudo Yagyu's bitterness against Ogami, and Ogami teaching a proud thief about true honor and the wages of deception.
This volume contains the following: Tidings of the Geese; The Frozen Crane; Chains of Death; The Infinite Path; Thread of Tears; Beku-no-ji.
