Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan's search takes an unexpected detour when he travels 'within' guided by amischievous and often maddening young girl named Nekko. Nekko's origin is a Zen mystery, but her devotion toHatter's quest to find the lost Princess is unwavering. After Nekko kidnaps his Hat and leads him on a fearlesschase across the rooftops of 1871 San Francisco, Hatter must acknowledge her as a teacher. It is written thatwhen you are ready the teacher will appear, but if the teacher is a 12-yearoldgirl and you are a High RankingBladesman you may discover that all you can do is laugh.

Hatter and Nekko's adventure around the ring of fire begins when they track a stolen samurai sword with aWonderland connection to San Francisco's styling 19th century hiphop crime madam Missy Tong and her eagerprotg, the outspoken Lil' Dick. A stowaway trip aboard a shanghai sailing ship ends on the Hawaiian Islandswhere a surfboard becomes Hatter's vehicle to illumination. And then on to Japan! Good grief it's Chikao and thegang, schoolhouse demons, cosplay, manga, noodles and a long lost brother from another world.
