【Editor's recommendation】

●A shrewd but ultimately disgraced rebel general, and a wise strategist bent on revenge, their dungeon duel is hidden in the history books.

●This is Yonezawa Honobu’s new masterpiece celebrating his 20th anniversary in the industry. It draws on cruel moments in history to solve a series of mysteries in the besieged city.

●Won the 166th Naoki Prize, was shortlisted for the 2022 Bookstore Award, and topped the four major mystery lists.

●The rise and fall of the magic path depends on the balance of wisdom. Facing the brutal chaos and unsolvable evil, faith is more powerful than martial arts and strategies.
