| Summary | Beneath the tranquil facade of Japan's Tenpo era, a secret stirs in Kaga Province. Disguised shogunate agent Seisaku, posing as an Edo merchant, is dispatched to the forbidden Mount Haku, rumored to host monstrous flying beasts. His covert mission: to unearth the truth behind whispers of advanced aviation techniques that threaten the Shogunate's authority. But his investigation plunges into turmoil upon meeting Otsū, a mysteriously beautiful woman whose life is inextricably linked to the mountains' dark secrets and the genius inventor Kōkichi, her father. Caught in a web of political intrigue, stolen inventions, and desperate ambition, Seisaku must navigate treacherous loyalties and burgeoning feelings to protect Otsū and expose a conspiracy that could redefine the very nature of warfare and the fate of an entire domain. |
