Under the Weeping Willows: A Tale of Duty

In feudal Japan, power decides fate, and honour is never enough.

When her father dies, Aratani Kanda is stripped of her future and sent to serve a ruthless general as part of a political bargain, becoming his concubine. Trapped in a world of samurai hierarchy, ambition, and quiet cruelty, she must learn to survive without losing herself.

Spanning a decade, the novel follows the psychological growth of its characters and the unfolding of their fates, intertwined through complex political and social intrigues.
