    Summary

    Had he not weathered worse when he’d fought to become a shaman? Naoya could have easily risen in the scholar-official ranks and served as the grand chancellor, second only to the king in power, but he would’ve been beholden to the king’s superstitious whims. He would never be able to escape the omnipresent pall of fate or read the symbols and signs that would determine success or failure, life or death.
