The main story follows Takeo as he continues his political and martial battles. In the end, he triumphs and eventually returns home to Kaede, who has been freed from captivity by a powerful earthquake and fire, which decimated Fujiwara's estate. Scarred in both body and spirit, the two are reunited at last. An afterword leads one to expect sequels, most likely concerning the next generation. This is the third volume in which the narrators have interpreted these characters, and their voicings have continued to improve with practice. Gray's narration continues to be well done, and Nakasone's has been refined and improved, making for a smooth and moving narration.
