"Ajin boys who show signs of special abilities are conscripted to serve in the imperial palace as beast-servantsstatus symbols and shields for their royal masters, to be kept or discarded on a whim. When they were children, Rangetsus twin brother Sogetsu was ripped from her arms and sent to the palace to attend Prince Tenyou as a beast-servant, where he quickly fell victim to bloody dynastic intrigues. Now in a world that promises only bitterness, Rangetsus one hope at avenging her brother is to disguise herself as a man and find a way into the palace! Rangetsu hasnt given up on vengeance, but nothing about the imperial palace is simple. Now that she knows and trusts Prince Tenyou, she has come to see that her most important duty is to keep him alive for the sake of all Ajineven at the cost of her own life!"-- cover page 4.
