Synopsis: Aida Desu

'This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.' Or at least, that's what Brana thought until she met Alexei. A misfit her whole life and plagued by prophetic dreams, she had never felt complete, never felt at home. He was the dark spark that lit up her life, his exciting, predatory air drawing her like a moth to a flame. Until, that is to say, she bade him farewell. Slighted Alexei, however, knows what he wants and he will have her at any cost. After the stalking began, Brana wondered how things all got so out of control. Little did she know how intricately their lives had been entwined in another life on another plane of existence...

...

Nineteen year old Amaya is wed to Takeshi, a warrior of the Yezo people. Forced into caring for his cruel child Keiji, her oft-absent husband is always afield. Shunned by the other villagers, Amaya befriends a large crow in the forest nearby. Following a disasterous reunion with Takeshi, the crow reveals himself to be none other than Shotodashi, leader of the shapeshifting Tengu warriors from nearby Mount Akiba. Over the turning of the seasons, Shotodashi and Amaya fall deeply in love and a child is born to the happy pair. But clouds loom dark on the horizon, and the shadows they cast are long...

...

Thus began a whirlwind journey of dreams, betrayal, reincarnated souls, old hatreds, a child's hope, Tengu warriors, Kitsune tricksters, vengeful gods, and a love that surpasses the boundaries of both time and space. Now Brana must defeat both guilt and grief with nothing to aid her but faded memories, confusing omens and an invisible force in the night. Ultimately, her life will depend on uncovering the mystery of the curse of the Yezo gods. But will she be able to decode the clues in time before Alexei's trap closes around her?
