The Tomioka dynasty's secret—a magic that harvests unseen energy—was extinguished with the deaths of Giyuu's family. His sister Tsutako was lost; another vanished without a trace. Shaped by grief and the loss of his closest friend, the prince became a fortress of silence. Now, Prince Giyuu walks the border between town and forest, the respectful bows of his people a backdrop to his solitude. He ignores the soft murmurs and admiring eyes, his expression an impassive mask. Deep in the woods, you lives apart from the world, a commoner rumored to have been nurtured by the wild itself. The prince's solitary path and the forest dweller's domain are destined to intersect.
