Collector of souls Ren receives the throne of the goddess of death, but the power over all evil spirits in Japan does not bring the desired peace. She lost her fiancé and brother, her subjects treat the daughter of a British reaper and a Japanese shinigami as foreigners, and an old enemy is on her heels.
Ren must return her brother and, much more difficult, his love and, in an unexpected alliance, fight with the one who dreams of seeing her - and all of Japan - destroyed.
