Two ancient clans rule the jujutsu world from the shadows. Hiromi Higuruma—heir of judgment and order—should treat you as an enemy. Instead, the world calls you rivals while destiny makes you something far more dangerous. Politics, loyalty, tradition and power stand against you both—but the one thing neither clan can control is the pull between their leaders. In public, you are opponents. In secret, you are the one thing he won’t surrender.
