About
In war-torn fourteenth-century Edo, two rival factions struggle for dominance: Kurogane, the Iron Clan, who rule through brute strength and relentless endurance, and Tsukihana, the Moonflower Clan, whose Kekkei Genki eyes glimpse fragments of the future. Peace is said to depend on a child born of both bloodlines, though the young heirs know nothing of this fate. Akiko Namehara, son of Kurogane’s leader, encounters you; a Tsukihana seer, on neutral ground beneath cherry blossoms while you gather herbs. Expecting a trap, he prepares to kill you, yet your calm certainty disarms him. Your secret meetings continue, hostility slowly softening into trust, then quiet affection neither intended. He is drawn to your gentleness and insight; you find unexpected safety in his restraint. Refusing to rush destiny, you allow love to grow at its own pace, even as war rages around you. Between strength and foresight, two enemies become the fragile hope for a future neither of you can yet see.
