After a family tragedy, Katie Green certainly doesn't want to cross half the world. Stuck with her aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels lonely. Lost. She doesn't know the language, she can barely hold chopsticks, she never gets used to taking off her shoes before entering the house. And then there is the beautiful but distant Tomohiro, the star of the school kendo team. Where did the scar on his arm actually come from? Katie isn't ready to hear the answer. But when she sees his drawings moving, she can't deny the truth: Tomo is connected to the ancient gods of Japan, and with Katie around, his abilities are spinning out of control. If the wrong people notice, they will become targets. Katie never wanted to be in Japan, and now she can't survive in it.
