Synopsis

In a divided world drawn from the Korean legend of the Celestial Maidens, Sunho is an ex-soldier of the Under World with almost no memory of the past two years, and Ren is a cheerful traveling acrobat hiding the silver light she can summon — a power she has concealed since childhood. When their paths cross, the secrets each of them carries pull them toward a bond, and a reckoning, that neither expected. The first book in Axie Oh's romantic fantasy duology.
