From the obscure origins of apotropaic rituals to the profound depths of Izuna and Dakini-ten rites, Rohan Kōda unveils a hidden world. Follow the path of Hosokawa Masamoto, a powerful shogunal deputy whose relentless pursuit of arcane power isolates him and ultimately leads to a tragic end. Witness Kujō Tanemichi, a revered court noble who, armed with the same formidable magic, defies the era's most terrifying warlords, Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, shaping destiny with an unyielding spirit. What truly separates those who master these forbidden arts from those consumed by them, and can even the greatest temporal power stand against the unseen forces of the ages? |
