DESCRIPTION:
When Takeo and Kaede first meet, they are drawn to each other, and without speaking a word, fall in love. Takeo is still trying to come to terms with knowing that, through the father he never knew, he is one of the Tribe—a group of mysterious, ninja-like assassins who have allegiance to no one.

But events are doomed to pull them apart, and soon they are each thrust into a battle for their lives.
