In this fantasy that takes place in a highly-stylized 19th-century restoration era, Miyo is the first daughter of a prestigious family. Her mother dies, her father remarries, and she is raised by an abusive stepmother. When Miyo finally reaches marriageable age, though, her hopes of being whisked away to a better life are dashed as she discovers her fiancé’s identity: Kiyoka, a military commander apparently so cold that his previous would-be brides all fled within days of their engagements. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is kind-hearted. As romance begins to blossom, mysterious attacks are launched on the capital, and Kiyoka must fight for the city and the woman he loves.
