Naru never believed he could earn the love of the Lord’s daughter, he never imagined the Mountain Spirit needed him to defeat demons on her land, and he never considered becoming the Mountain Spirit’s favored high priest.
Aya, the lord’s daughter, feared she’d never learn the identity of the Mountain Spirit’s helper, she didn’t think she’d fall so in love with a man who she’d never met, and she couldn’t believe he was the lowliest peasant, right under her nose all her life.
Naru learns strength from the Mountain Spirit and trust from Lady Aya. But, when the village is in danger of destruction, Naru must use the Shadow Fan to save everyone, including his beloved Aya. With just a flick of the wrist it could heal or destroy. The price? The life of the user; if their heart is unbalanced.
