Publisher's Synopsis
A merciless warlord murders Kiku's husband and destroys her fortress, plunging her into a life of sexual servitude in a silk-lined cell. In the harem, she fights the machinations of a love-struck eunuch intent upon transforming her into the whore the Nobunaga desires. No one shows her any concern except Ryogen, a lowly monk, who awakens feelings in her she thought died long ago. But will Kiku ever trust her instincts again when an assassin reveals that Ryogen is really Shiro, the son of the man who made her a widow?
