In the waning years of Edo's rule, where honor is currency and memory is a weapon, a nameless man steps from the shadows of the past to settle old debts.
Flummox is a haunting, meticulously wrought tale of blood, memory, and the slow unraveling of a house that mistook cruelty for strength. When masterless Ronin Junichi Endo arrives at the decaying Masayoshi compound, what begins as a formal request for ritual death becomes a reckoning generations in the making. In a world where names are buried as easily as bodies, Junichi carries more than steel at his side, he carries the unforgotten.
As stories of vanishings and severed topknots spread through Edo's streets, the Masayoshi house tightens its walls and sharpens its swords. But neither fear nor pretense can stop the quiet inevitability of justice claimed blade by blade, name by name.
Told in spare, evocative prose, Flummox weaves brutality and grace into a single, relentless narrative, a ghost story in flesh and steel. It's a story about the debts that never die, the names we refuse to speak, and the silence that remains after the last sword falls.
