Within the walls, he encounters a beautiful courtesan who must sing from dusk until dawn to chase away nightmares. Caught in a madman’s domain, will Hanzo find his escape, or sacrifice himself for the sake of love? A captivating steampunk fairytale of intrigue and deception from the Gunpowder Chronicles series.
