Kenji Tanaka is a world-renowned kendo master, a man who has dedicated his life to the art of the Japanese sword. But his mastery is put to the ultimate test when a jealous rival’s act of sabotage during a demonstration with a live blade cuts his life short. He awakens in the body of a young, disgraced samurai named Haruto in late 16th-century Japan, a period of intense civil war known as the Sengoku Jidai. Haruto is a man on the edge, a ronin-in-all-but-name, whose family has been stripped of its honor. Armed with a future master’s understanding of swordplay and tactics, but burdened by the shame and enemies of a life he didn’t live, Kenji must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, brutal warfare, and the rigid code of bushido. His quest for redemption becomes a desperate struggle to protect his new family from the machinations of the powerful warlord who destroyed them, all while trying to understand if he was brought to the past to simply survive, or to change the very course of Japanese history.
