We present the long-awaited third part of the most influential historical novel in Japanese literature and the masterpiece of the great Eiji Yoshikawa. Discover the exciting conclusion of the first trilogy. After emerging victorious in the Hogen and Heiji wars, the star of Kiyomori, the charismatic leader of the Heike clan, rises rapidly, making him the most powerful man in all of Japan. However, both his indomitable heart, captivated by the beautiful widow of Yoshitomo, former leader of the rival Genji clan, and his determination to turn Japan into a maritime power, will endanger not only Kiyomori himself, but the entire country. The young Yoritomo, the only survivor of the Minamoto, travels hidden through Heike territory to seek refuge and support in the north and reorganize the Genji clan. For the moment, peace reigns in Japan, but intrigue and corruption are weaving a thick spider web around Kiyomori.
Eiji Yoshikawa was a Japanese historical novelist, best known for his revisions of classics and retelling of historical events through the lens of semi-biographical fiction books.
