Description
In 1868, Japan's pleasure quarters were notorious for their exotic allure. For Hana, however, sex was not an option - it was survival. When her husband went to war, she found herself alone and vulnerable in the shattered city of Tokyo. Fleeing from enemy soldiers, Hana took refuge in the Yoshiwara, a place where courtesans like herself were forced into a life of luxury and deception. Meanwhile, Yozo sailed to the frozen north to join his rebel comrades for a desperate last stand. Defeated, he made his way south to the lawless Yoshiwara, where he hoped to escape his troubles. In this treacherous world, two people with secrets so terrible that they threaten their very lives must navigate the shadows of the Nightless City.
