The Dying of the Light

Where does a legend begin?Saizou gave five years to the Emperors war in China. The last thing he expected when he returned home was a Japan changed beyond recognition. Under the rule of the capricious Prince-Regent everything familiar is taken from him and he is declared a criminal. On the run and hunted by officials and bounty hunters alike Saizou knows only one thing: compromising truth and kindness will destroy him and make everything he fought for worthless. Now he must either give up and save himself or sacrifice everything he loves to spark a rebellion in a country of people he cannot trust.
