About Shadows of Heian-Kyo

In a fracturing Heian-kyo, the two heirs of the once-mighty Seimei clan are driven apart by duty and grief. Toya, once the famed prodigy, now clings to tradition to keep the peace and his only family alive. Kagero forges his own path, hoping not only to ensure his clan's survival but to break free of his older brother's shadow. Though can the brothers unite as one before the Fujiwara seize the moment and win the game of Go? ​Hispania, desperate to defend its northern border, begins the game of ravens. A move they hope will ensure the survival of their ancient kingdom for centuries to come. As spring fades and the summer winds blow, the brothers must decide if their bond is strong enough to save their clan. As they both soon learn, there is far more hiding in the shadows of Heian-kyo than they ever realised.
