Summary:
The story opens with a fictional rendition of the Namamugi Incident, on September 14, 1862. Phillip Tyrer, John Canterbury, Angelique Richaud, and the heir and soon to be tai-pan of Struan's, Malcolm Struan, son of Culum Struan, are riding when they are attacked by Shorin Anato and Ori Ryoma, both Satsuma samurai and shishi in the Sonno-joi movement. Canterbury is (gruesomely) killed, Malcolm seriously wounded (he will later die of complications resulting from this wound further along in the story), Tyrer receives a minor arm injury;only Angelique escapes unharmed to get help. Tyrer and Malcolm make their way back to Yokohama later that day, where Dr. Babcott operates on Malcolm. Meanwhile, at a village inn, Sanjiro, the daimyo of Satsuma, meets with Katsumata, one of his advisors, and receives Ori and Shorin.
