RONIN
Honour, vengeance and fate. The Legend of the Samurai lashed by the wind. 'They were times in which the ocean tanned nations and tempered men'. Year 1600, Dámaso Hernández, sub-lieutenant of the Tercios, is sailing to the Philippines, where he hopes to prosper so as to gain the hand of the girl Constanza. At the same time, a brutal civil war shakes Japan; during a long siege that will become legend, a few brave men defend Fushimi castle against an army of forty thousand. When there is no honourable way out remaining other than committing hara-kiri, the lord of that place tells one of his men to give in to that end and becomes a rōnin to discover who has betrayed him. In the dark fate of men manipulated by powerful governors a vengeance will be forged that will lead to the startling expedition of Samurais that will end in Spain.
