Introduction: An exiled dragon princess turned wandering samurai roams the countryside earning money so she may one day take back her home. A kidnapped human princess and a worthless fop of a prince demand her time, and remind her that the circle of betrayal is never ending, its maelstrom destined to test her resolve and cost her the lives of all she holds dear.I adore Lone Wolf and Cub as well as Lady Snowblood. This is something of a written love letter to Goseki Kojima, Kazuo Koike, and Tomisaburo Wakayama. Obviously no homage is perfect or pure, so I've added my own mystical takes and mythical figures to my work....
