Once every thousand years, the Great Dragon appears to a mortal to fulfill his deepest desire. Once every thousand years, the world expects a change - for good or for bad, it is up to the one who holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers to decide. Raised by monks at the distant Temple of Quiet Winds, Yumeko spent her entire life learning how to hide her youkai identity. Half kitsune, half human, she uses her talent for creating illusions only for small tricks. But when the temple is attacked by hordes of demons, Yumeko is forced to embark on a dangerous journey to protect a fragment of an ancient scroll. Only she is not the only one who needs this precious relic. Kage Tatsumi, the mysterious samurai of the Shadow Clan, is also hunting for the scroll. And he will do anything to find it.
