The last concubine

     Japan, 1865
The women´s palace in the great city of Edo

     A sprawling complex, bristling with intrigue and erotic rivalries, the palace is home to three thousand women and olny one man - the young shogun.

     Sachi, a beautiful fifteen- year- old, is chosen to be his concubine.

     But Japan is changing, and as civil war erupts, Sachi leaves the palace and flees for her life. Rescued by a rebel warrior, she finds  unknown feelings stirring within her; but this is a world in which private passions have no place and there is not even a word of love. 
     Before she dare dream of a life with him, Sachi must uncover the secert of her own origins - a secret that encompasses a wrong so terrible  that it threatens to destroy her...
