A steamy tale of romance and revenge set in the world of the New York Times bestseller, "Dawn of the Arcana"!

The Ajin boys who show signs of special abilities are conscripted to serve in the imperial palace as animal servants, symbols of status, and shields for their kings, to be kept or discarded at will. When they were children, Rangetsu's twin brother, Sogetsu, was suddenly taken from her and sent to the palace to serve Prince Tenyou as an animal servant, where he quickly became a victim of violent dynastic intrigues. Now, in a world that promises only bitterness, Rangetsu's only hope of avenging her brother is to disguise herself as a man and find a way to enter the palace!

The prince Kougai's interest in his brother's new animal servant has not waned, and Rangetsu is forced to forge an uneasy truce with him when his probing investigations reveal the dangerous truth about her identity. But her past is not the only thing the third prince has examined, and the palace conceals many perilous truths...
