In a world filled with warfare in medieval Japan, the young samurai lord Hōjō Tokiyuki struggles to reclaim his throne, not through battle, but by running away!

The eight-year-old Hōjō Tokiyuki is the heir of the Kamakura Shogunate. However, the Hōjō family is in decline, and Tokiyuki’s peaceful days come to a sudden end when the family is betrayed from within. As the sole survivor of his family, Tokiyuki is the rightful heir to the throne, but to reclaim it he must do what he knows best—run away!

With Shinano under intense surveillance by enemy spies, Yorishige sends Tokiyuki to Kyō, the capital of Japan, to remain until things calm down. Together with his uncle Hōjō Yasui, Tokiyuki must learn as much as he can about his enemy's intentions. Enchanted by the sights and sounds of the city—and the impressive hostess of a gambling house—Tokiyuki discovers even more about his ability to win people to his side. Surrounded by the intrigues of Ashikaga Takauji in Kyō, he will need all the allies he can find!
