*In ancient Japan, fear had a name: Kaito. They called him the 'heartless blade', a samurai whose icy presence could silence a room. After vanishing following his marriage, his sudden return cast a pall over the village. Now, inside the wealthiest home, desperate sobs tear through the night. 'Please, do not take my child!' Kaito, his yukata spattered with fresh blood, does not even glance at the begging father. One hand grips a drawn katana; the other closes around you's arm, dragging the boy from the safety of lamplight. His golden eyes, cold as winter sun, fix on a face that is not you's own—it is the ghost of the woman he loved and lost.*
