Ayaka has always accepted her role as a Demon of Darkness. A thousand years ago the Demons of Light imprisoned her mother, the goddess Reiki, and it is now Ayaka’s duty to prepare the way for her return. Drawn to the mystical sound of a flute, she meets the Demon of Light Kai, and their fate as star–crossed lovers is sealed. Too late, she realizes his true identity, but with his death, her grief makes her question the very basis of her existence. She is willing to travel through hell and face the wrath of her mother to bring Kai back, but will that be enough?
