On the Emperor's orders and on pain of death Toranaga must submit to the Council of Regents dominated by his hated enemy, Ishido.
Fr Alvito tells Blackthorne, 'Do you know what it means Pilot, now that you are
Samurai? Now you will be ordered to commit seppuku - suicide.'
As the clouds of civil war rumble ominously over
Japan, Blackthorne, Mariko and Lord Toranaga prepare to face their karma - the destiny pre-ordained for each of them.
