Publisher's Synopsis
To be human is to hope ... especially when you know you shouldn't
The price for his revenge?
A curse.
The Yokai's magic exiled him, trapping him in an enchanted forest to suffer immortality alone.
The weight of his solitude increased and his bitterness grew as he realized the only people searching for him weren't coming to help. They only wanted to take Guardian from him-a sword forged and imbued with magic.
So, when a little girl showed up in his forest, he feared she was a pawn sent to coax the magic katana from his possession. But she wasn't there for Guardian, and for the first time, he allowed himself to hope.
He should have known better.
