In a world where survival depends on the hunt, you can't afford to hesitate when treasure calls. During the Bakumatsu—the final years of the shogunate—Japan is in chaos, with roughnecks from every background fighting for dominance. Hanagusuku Muta, a Ryukyuan boy from a fallen noble family, scrapes by through thievery. Then he catches word of a legendary pirate's hidden fortune on a tiny island within the kingdom—a hoard that could throw the whole country into turmoil. When a band of Satsuma samurai frames him for a crime he didn't commit, Muta is swept into a violent, bloody struggle for the prize.
