In the wake of battle, Izo Hidehisa found himself injured, confused, and in the care of a Buddhist monk called Harou. After time in the monk's care Izo could no longer deny his feelings for Harou, but guilt over Shigemi, the lover he left behind, weighed him down.
Izo soon overcame his guilt and settled in with Harou, knowing that a life with Shigemi could never be. However, he hid a secret from his new lover. A secret that could threaten everything he held dear... again. And when Harou learned of Izo's secret, the monk was enraged, forcing Izo out.
Shigemi appeared then, looking for Izo, only to find Harou. Izo was forced to watch from a distance as the two men he loved most in the world found happiness without him...

It’s no secret that I love, love, love all things m/m/m and I’m always looking for new books and maybe some with a little bit different take on things.
This isn’t my preferred setting and I must admit the names and nicknames confused me at times. But after a little bit of a rocky start the story and men grew on me.
The world, the wording and setting is formal and traditional, where loving another man is not acceptable. Not only that, but Izo has another secret that just might cost him the man he loves and even his life.
I really would have loved more, it was just too short. I wanted more of Izo’s backstory, and Harou’s as well as the history between them that was alluded too, and of course more of what’s to come in the future. But that’s me being greedy.
