Shadow of the Rising Sun
A dark, stormy night. Edo (Tokyo). Thunder roars. The immortal shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu stands on a platform. Below, a crowd watches in terror. A line of dissenters kneel, awaiting execution. The shogun’s eyes glow with forbidden magic. His voice booms. Heads roll. Blood flows.
A young girl, Aiko Takamori, watches. Her family among the fallen. Vows of revenge burn in her heart. An elderly onmyoji takes her in. Trains her in the dark arts. She grows, skilled and fierce.
