  <default-description>Lord Otori Takeo dan Kaede telah memerintah lebih dari enam belas tahun. Tiga negara menjadi negara yang kaya, damai, dan sejahtera. Agaknya Nirwana tengah tersenyum pada mereka.
Namun keberhasilan mereka menarik perhatian Kaisar dan jenderalnya, Lord Saga Hideki, yang mengincar kekayaan Tiga Negara dan juga putri sulung Takeo, Shigeko.
Di saa yang sama, kekerasan dan pengkhianatan tak terkubur begitu saja. Keluarga Kikuta berusaha membalas dendam dan bersekutu dengan adik ipar Takeo, Arai Zenko, yang tak bisa memaafkan kematian ayahnya. Tak seorangpun bisa lepas dari incaran Tribe untuk selamanya.
Terkuaknya Rahasia Takeo membuat semua yang telah diraihnya bersama Kaede berada di ujung tanduk.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book isn't in the same league as the first three. Convoluted and fluid plots are difficult to keep straight; I could have used a map, genealogical and organizational charts <br/><br/>However, the real problem is with the narration. Appalling.
