A geiko’s song enchants an emperor… but days later, a single act of cruelty shatters his world.
From the ruins of trauma rises Hoshi No Michi, a masked protector born from pain, silence, and fury.
As whispers of a vigilante spread through the capital, Emperor Akito begins to notice the change in his closest friend — the distance, the fear, the songs sung in a trembling foreign tongue.
When the truth finally surfaces, Blake must choose between secrecy and loyalty… and the emperor must face the hero he never knew he had.
This is the origin of a legend — and the moment a kingdom realises its protector walks among them.
