They say that seeing the wealth of the lands of Yamauchi, the mountain god Yamagami-sama ordered the elder of the clan, the Golden Crow, to develop this region. The Golden Crow divided the earth into four parts and gave one to each of his children. And all four promised that they, their children, and grandchildren would take care of the lands given to them. Thus began the history of four houses and four lands, the history of Soke’s house, which became the refuge of the elder and his family...According to ancient custom, each Golden Crow in due time must choose a wife. Four girls from four noble houses come to be presented to the court - after all, this is how the bride of the future ruler is chosen. Behind each lies the strength and weakness of her family, the intrigues and secrets of the past. And the heir is in no hurry to appear before the contenders. The palace is full of dangers and secrets that the crows hide. Or people?..Who in the world is the sweetest, the most beautiful and the whitest, who is the most graceful, educated and skillful, who will become the wife of the heir, and in the future - the ruler of the land of ravens?
