Palace intrigue and a fight for survival

In this volume, Rangetsu’s pursuit of revenge is bound up with a wider struggle over the country and the people she cares about. The story’s imperial-palace setting gives its conflict a dynastic dimension: Ajin boys with special abilities are made into servants and shields for royalty, while Rangetsu enters the palace disguised as a man to seek justice for her twin brother. As the battle against Rohan continues, her desperation brings a new power into play. The volume brings together concealed identity, royal power, and personal loyalty, with Rangetsu’s hopes of seeing Prince Tenyou again still unresolved.

Book overview

A smoldering tale of romance and revenge set in the world of the New York Times best seller Dawn of the Arcana!

Ajin boys who show signs of special abilities are conscripted to serve in the imperial palace as beast-servants--status symbols and shields for their royal masters, to be kept or discarded on a whim. When they were children, Rangetsu's twin brother Sogetsu was ripped from her arms and sent to the palace to attend Prince Tenyou as a beast-servant, where he quickly fell victim to bloody dynastic intrigues. Now in a world that promises only bitterness, Rangetsu's one hope at avenging her brother is to disguise herself as a man and find a way into the palace!

As the battle against Rohan wears on, Rangetsu must rely on sheer grit to survive until finally her desperation unleashes a new power within her. She strikes down foe after foe, lest she lose the country, the friends, and the man she loves. Will she ever see Prince Tenyou again?
