Summary:
"Nemuri Kyoshiro, the half-breed son of a Japanese noblewoman raped by a Christian missionary, lives only for the moment, amused by the chaos that surrounds him. But those who decide to use him for their own ends soon discover that they have made a fatal error. For Kyoshiro wields the fabled Musuo-Masamune blade and is master of the most subtle and deadly technique in all of sword-play: the Full-Moon cut. All those who challenge him must face the Sleepy Eyes of Death"--Container.
