Inhaltsangabe

When the powerful Lord Takeda’s soldiers sweep across the countryside, killing and plundering, they spare the boy Taro’s life and take him along with them. Taro becomes a servant in the household of the noble Lord Akiyama, where he meets Togan, a cook, who teaches Taro and makes his new life bearable. But when Togan is murdered, Taro’s life takes a new direction: He will become a samurai, and redeem the family legacy that has been stolen from him.

Excerpt

"I shall begin my tale on that day when I lost not only my father, but
my mother and my two older brothers as well . . . In the morning of
that day my name had been Murakami; I was a bushi, a knight"s son
whom every woman in the village would fondle and spoil. Before the
sun set I had been given the name Taro, a servant"s name, and I was
of no more importance than that name implied."
