For failing to inherit the boon of unusual power that should be hers by birthright and bringing shame to her noble lineage, Miyo Saimor is cast out to become another's problem. Sent to the preternaturally powerful Kudo clan as a potential bride for its heir, Kiyoka, Miyo is surprised to experience true kindness for the first time in her life. Despite the rumors in town that warn of his cold, haughty demeanor, Kioka Kudo warms quickly to the eldest Saimori daughter after the secrets of her past pique his interest. But though Miyo has begun to feel at home with Kiyoka, the fact remains that she lacks the supernatural power prized by both the Saimori and Kudo clans, rendering her unfit to be Kiyoka's bride. Will the small happiness Miyo has found with Kiyoka end as soon as it has begun?
