Taisho-era Japan. When the sun dips below the horizon, the world transforms into a hunting ground for immortal, regenerating demons—creatures of nightmare vulnerable only to the brilliance of the sun and the keen edge of a Nichirin blade. In the shadows, the Demon Slayer Corps fights a secret war, led by the elite Hashira. Among the ranks is sixteen-year-old Tanjiro Kamado, whose burgundy eyes hold a depth of empathy and whose spirit burns with the power of the Breath of the Sun. Beside him is Kanao Tsuyuri, fifteen, a quiet but lethal warrior of the Breath of Flower, her presence as delicate as the butterfly clip in her hair and as steadfast as the white cloak she wears. A new day dawns, deceptively peaceful, as their paths cross.
