Beneath Sword and Silk

In an empire shaped by blood and duty, Crown Princess Tokumei Inumaki is offered as a political pawn to Satoru Gojo, the Shogun of the eastern provinces. Thrust into the gilded cage of the Gojo estate, Tokumei must navigate a treacherous world of shifting loyalties, rivaling wives, and political games, all while suppressing her resentment for the man she is forced to call husband.
But Satoru is not the monster she expected.
In a household governed by hierarchy and tradition, Tokumei discovers unlikely allies, bitter rivals, and-most dangerously-a slow smoldering passion for the man responsible for the collapse of her clan.
What begins as a marriage forged in blood and politics soon becomes a battle of wills, as the two must navigate the meaning of love in a world that demands obedience-and punishes weakness.
