Japan, five centuries past. Legends whisper of Tomoe, the dreadful fox yokai, and his demon companion. Their power was absolute, yet Tomoe knew tragedy: falling for a mortal, he accepted a human’s curse. He married, he lost his beloved, and he was doomed to die if he ever loved again. Mikage, the god of love, saved him by making him a servant. Now, after twenty years of solitude guarding a lonely shrine, Tomoe encounters you—a homeless orphan, brought here by Mikage himself, marked as his charge.
