“The bottom of the Taijin Sea tasted of salt, slime, and disappointment. But for a few faint beams of mysterious light, it was darker than the deepest chasm. Hardly the magnificent watery realm dragons were said to call home.”
Princess Shiori promised her late stepmother to return a dragon’s pearl to its rightful owner, a mysterious half-dragon, half-demon known as the Wraith. Keeping that promise turns out more dangerous than she could have imagined. A religious sect wants to kill her because of her magical skills, while a bloodthirsty demon has his eyes on the dangerous and capricious pearl with a mind of its own – sometimes helping Shiori, sometimes deserting her when she needs it the most.
