They were the two most feared swordsmen of their age: Miyamoto Musashi, mysterious and introspective, and Sasaki Kojiro, a man of arrogance and ambitious. In a nation divided between East and West, each warrior is thrust forward as a hero of bitterly opposing sides. But for Musashi another battle is already raging. While he struggles to understand the Way of Truth, a beautiful woman risks her life to be reunited with him, and his oldest friend is drawn into a horrifying plot to murder the Shogun himself… By the sea, the crowds are gathered, and Kojiro is waiting. Now Musashi must reach a new and breathtaking level of swordsmanship – to win the supreme victory and show his nation the way into a golden age!
