Dragon's King Palace

It is June 1694, and Reiko, the beautiful wife of Sano Ichiro; Reiko's
friend, Midori; the shogun's mother; and Lady Yanagisawa, wife of the
shogun's powerful second-in-command, are kidnapped en route to Mount
Fuji and imprisoned in the tower of a ruined palace. The shogun demands
quick action - and under the threat of death, Sano is forced to work
with his sworn enemies, Yangisawa and Hoshina. The women are in imminent
danger and the delivery of a ransom note only complicates the situation
- revealing a surprising target for the kidnapper's plot, and creating
another impossible situation for Sano.
