Chiyo is the brave and resourceful wife of Yamauchi Kazutoyo, a samurai in the service of the ruthless warlord Oda Nobunaga. Husband and wife will live through the most turbulent time in Japanese history, Sengoku Jidai, the Age of Warring States. They will experience personal tragedies and triumphs and witness the rise and fall of titans.—Emmanuel Valerio
