The drums sound across the misted paddies of Aki, and with each beat the capital draws nearer. In 673 CE, on the western shore of Japan, imperial reform reaches a remote coastal hamlet in the form of impossible rice quotas and conscription lists. District official Kawachi must choose between loyalty to the throne and the survival of his people, while boat-builder Tsune hides a shipwrecked foreigner whose forbidden knowledge could save or doom them all. His wife Aya navigates tax collectors and a traveling monk as their son returns from the capital changed. When storm and inspection converge on the same night, every ordinary life is drawn into a reckoning between survival and the hidden current of empire. A gripping historical novel where the quiet compromises of a coastal community echo the birth of a centralized state.
