Book
The Tsurugisan Scroll
First published 2026
Washed ashore inside Awa, Gennojō and Otsuna disguise themselves as pilgrims and climb towards Mount Tsurugi, where the evidence behind the conspiracy is hidden. Domain retainers and the rōnin pursuing them know that outsiders cannot be allowed to leave with the secret.
As the rival parties converge on the sacred mountain, Otsuna’s search for her father becomes inseparable from the threat to the Tokugawa government. The closed domain that has remained distant throughout the series now becomes a landscape of surveillance, concealed routes and competing obligations.
