The year is 1600. Japan is boiling in a civil war that seems eternal. The feudal lords alternate alliances and betrayals in a game of strategy in which each of them tries to take over the absolute rule of the land of the gods. The Fushimi fortress will not withstand the siege, and the samurai Saigo Hayabusa is ready to split his belly, without a wince, without complaint. However, his lord entrusts him with a mission that will require a sacrifice far greater than death. On the other side of the globe, the Spanish crown continues to expand its dominions, but King Felipe III, weak and hedonistic, has left the court in the hands of the Duke of Lerma, who, thanks to his corruption, is impoverishing the country and cracking the imperial foundations. There, Dámaso Hernández de Castro, a soldier hardened in the Flanders campaigns, prepares to leave for the East Indies, where he must put himself at the service of the judge of the Audiencia of Manila. He has to make up for his insufficient lineage with merits if he wants to aspire to the hand of his beloved, La Menina Constanza de Accioli. But he will soon discover that someone has disguised what is actually a death trap as opportunity. Fate is inexorable... and a circumstantial encounter will forever unite the threads of Saigo and Damaso.
