Where the dead remember, and the living choose, love becomes the bridge between worlds. For four hundred years, Kurayami no Ō has ruled the realm of the dead-cursed, cold, and bound to a throne forged in grief. Mortals dare not cross into Yomi… until one does.Akari of Hirosaki, a shrine maiden of quiet strength, descends the mountain not to beg but to restore the balance between worlds. With only a lantern and a heart full of faith, she steps into the shadowed palace of a forgotten king and speaks his name without fear.Drawn to her light, Kurayami begins to remember what it is to feel, to want, to live. But breaking the curse that binds him means confronting the sorrow he once tried to resurrect and the Death Priestess who rose in its place.As war stirs in the underworld and blossoms return to the living, Kurayami and Akari must decide what love is worth: the throne, the world… or their souls.
