Neo-Tokyo, 2099. The Shogun Dragon, who ruled the city's clans, has been found dead in his throne room. Ten fighters had a motive, a secret or a reason to be there that night. Whoever holds the throne now holds Neo-Tokyo.
The Shogun Dragon's personal bodyguard for eleven years. On the night his master died, Kenji was off duty for the first time in a decade. Disgraced and masterless, he hunts the killer with a blade that has never missed.
Open question: Who gave him the night off?
Red Lotus clan assassin. Security footage shows her leaving the Dragon's tower an hour before the body was found. She swears she was hired to steal a ledger, not to kill. The ledger is still missing.
Open question: Who hired her, and what was in the ledger?
The Dragon's iron general, rebuilt from steel after a hundred wars. Tetsu commands the Kurogane Forge and believes the throne is his by right of loyalty. He was the first to reach the body.
Open question: Why did he seal the throne room for an hour?
A shinobi from a black-ops program that officially never existed. Kage-Zero has no memories older than one year, except a corrupted file on his memory chip that keeps replaying a throne room in the rain.
Open question: Whose eyes recorded that file?
Cyborg enforcer of the Black Market. Oni-Gane sold his kanabō to whoever paid most while the Dragon lived. Now he wants the markets, the money and the throne for himself, and he is not subtle about it.
Open question: Who paid him a fortune the week before?
Crow tengu and messenger of the mountain spirits, keeper of the Storm Castle's skies. A black feather was found beside the Dragon's body. Karasu says he was framed. The crows say otherwise.
Open question: What message did he deliver that night?
Three-tailed fox trickster from Frost Peak. Witnesses saw cold blue foxfire drifting from the tower windows the night the Dragon died. Yuki plays every side, laughs at every question, and knows far more than she tells.
Open question: Was the foxfire hers, or a disguise?
The Shogun Dragon's estranged son, exiled from Tokyo nine years ago. He came back the very week his father died. Oryu claims the throne by blood, and the dragonfire in his lungs says he may be right.
Open question: Why did he return that week?
Undefeated champion of the illegal fights held on top of the bullet trains. Tora owed the Dragon a blood debt he never paid, and now no one is left to collect it. He means to rule the way he fights: by tearing through everyone.
Open question: Was the debt cancelled, or collected?
Spider yokai who runs the silk house hidden in the Bamboo Grove, where secrets are traded like coins. Threads of her silk were found on the tower window. Joro does not want the throne. She wants whoever sits on it tied to her strings.
Open question: Whose strings was the Dragon caught in?
The Dragon died in the Shogun Throne Room, at the top of the tower on Storm Castle. The clans gathered for his funeral at the Crimson Shrine.
