It is the Sengoku period.
Beyond peaks of deep snow lies
the land of Ashina. Sword Saint
Isshin Ashina, who led a revolution
and created this country in only
one generation, is the leader of
this northern land. Now, its very
existence is in danger.

Isshin's grandson and general of


Ashina, fearing the worst, secretly
instructs his men:

“We can no longer rely on normal


means to protect Ashina from
outsiders. We must find the Divine
Heir."
And so, the Divine Heir is
captured. But he is all alone in this
world, with no family or vassals—
save for one shinobi.

This is the story of two lone wolves


bound together by duty.

SHADOWS DIE TWICE


THE BLOODY ASHINA REVOLUTION

It is the end of the Sengoku period. The fires


of war that burned all of Japan refuse to die,
spreading even to the land of Ashina, nestled
deep between tall mountains.
