A Cinderella-inspired, slow-burn historical romance with a paranormal
twist set in Taisho-era Japan!
A browbeaten and mistreated daughter is cast out of her home and sent to
audition as a bridal candidate for the heir to one of the most powerful
families in the land...
Miyo Saimori, the eldest of her clan and yet unblessed by the
supernatural talent that graced her father and half sister, is sent off
to marry into the Gifted Kudo clan. The young and aloof clan leader,
Kiyoka Kudo, finds himself intrigued by this girl who stands worlds
apart from the spoiled, social-climbing women who usually vie for his
hand. All too soon, Kiyoka comes to regard Miyo with affection.
Kiyoka and Miyo make their engagement real and official, but Miyo still
worries she lacks the training to be a wife worthy of the Kudo clan.
Enter Kiyoka's older sister, Hazuki, who takes it upon herself to tutor
Miyo--and tease Kiyoka along the way!
Suddenly, Miyo and Kiyoka encounter a mysterious man named Arata
Tsuruki. What does he want, and what connection does he have to the
enigmatic and powerful Usuba clan that Miyo's mother hailed from?
