This third installment picks up right after Takeo's and Kaede's wedding. The Otori uncles are sending threats and it's clear that to have any position amongst the warring clans, indeed any chance to stay alive, Takeo and Kaede must first gain men and power themselves so after defeating the Otori army, they travel to Kaede's domain to reclaim it (after the death of Lady Maruyama, some men took over despite the law being different in that region).Meanwhile, Takeo is still hunted by the Tribe as

I enjoyed the interlacing of history, with mystery, magic, myth and legend, set within a Medieval Japan consisting of exotic sounding names, places and a strongly feudal and warrior based society.
