What the book says...

The year is 1311. in the highest tower of Cloud of Sparrows Castle, a beautiful woman watches from the window as a mob runs riot below. As their campfires blaze through the darkness, she begins to write down the events unfolding around her and the secret history of the Okumichi Clan. Six centuries later the lost scrolls fall into the hands of American missionary Emily Gibson, racing from her tragic past and caught between two men fighting for her love. As Emily sifts through the fragile scrolls, she begins to see threads of her own life woven into the ancient writings. As past and present collide, a hidden history comes to life, and with it a secret prophecy that has been shrouded for centuries and may now finally be revealed.
