A smoldering tale of romance and revenge set in the world of the New York Times best seller Dawn of the Arcana!
Legend says that a sacred beast appears in the time of a great king…
Ajin are people who bear the attributes of beasts, and in this kingdom Ajin men are forced to serve in the military and Ajin women in the brothels. The Ajin boys who show signs of special abilities are conscripted to serve in the imperial palace as beast servants—status symbols and shields for their royal masters, to be kept or discarded on a whim. When Rangetsu’s twin brother Sogetsu showed signs of such abilities, he was ripped from her arms and given to Prince Tenyou as a beast servant, where he quickly fell victim to bloody royal intrigues. Now in a world that promises only bitterness, Rangetsu’s one hope is to disguise herself as a man and find a way into the palace to avenge her brother!
Rangetsu knows she must keep a low profile in the palace if she’s to have any hope of tracking down her brother’s killer. But when an Ajin is wrongly accused of murder, can Rangetsu stand idly by when she knows that Prince Tenyou has the power to prevent another horrible injustice?

Ajin are destined to be servants to humans working as military or brothels. Rangetsu's twin brother was a special one but died working with the royals so she has worked hard to take her brothers place dressing as a man to get her revenge.
Its interesting seeing how this world works. I loved getting to know more about the characters as this book went on. Some people weren't as cold as they seemed and if they were you get to see briefly what led them down that path. I loved that Rangetsu was not the type of person to back down with any task and in the face of injustice. She voiced her opinion where no one would would apparently care and tried her best to make people care. I can't wait to see more for the next book.
