On a bleak September night in 1571 Japan, Nobuhide's family died in the ruins of a burning temple. Nobu swore vengeance against the man who killed them, the warlord Oda Nobunaga, the Demon King.
Six hundred years later, on a planet called S'rall, Nobu and his comrade-in-arms, the English knight Thomas Fitzhugh, confront another Demon King. An ambitious and ruthless warlord has launched a campaign of conquest and threatens to plunge S'rall into a bloody, all-out war.
The instructions from their enigmatic benefactor, the Chief, are simple. Find out what's going on. But for Nobu, it's not simple at all. His family may have died six centuries ago by the calendar, but for Nobu, those memories are still fresh, gaping wounds. The parallels between this 'Demon King' and the one who slew his family are impossible to ignore.
So Nobu will do more than find out what's going on. Surrounded by hidden enemies and a mysterious race of beings who seem to defy time itself, he's going to find a way to stop this war before it starts. And, in the process, he will slay both of these Demon Kings. Even if it costs him his life to do it.
