Obscure is the first book in the Akai Ito series, a novel set in contemporary Japan that tells the story of a love that must prove itself strong enough to overcome tragedies, intrigues, manipulations and the resentment between two families. Kensuke Takeda discovers that he was cunningly manipulated by those he trusted, and that his life, or the last years of it, were a sham. Everything he thought was real were lies or half-truths. And because of them he was negligent, absent, and almost lost everything worth fighting for. But he wasn't going to let it go, he wasn't going to give up. He is Kensuke Takeda. His name is power, his best weapon is determination. He will fill in the gaps, discover the whole truth and take back what is his, his life, his family. And above all, his wife. The legitimate one. And don't let anyone dare get in his way. Nothing and no one will stop him.
