I help too
Just as Sano and Matsudaira are about to go to war, the shogun orders Sano to investigate the mysterious remains.
Swords buried with the skeleton belonged to the shogun’s cousin, who disappeared forty years ago on the same night a cursed kimono started a fire that threatened the city.
Suspicion falls on Sano’s mother. The shogun gives Sano and Reiko three days to solve the mystery and clear her name or Sano and Reiko’s families will all suffer the ultimate punishment.
