| Summary | Shiraga Kozō, known as the White-Haired Boy, wanders through life with a simple smile, seemingly unconcerned by the world's complexities. His existence intertwines with Princess Mirume, a maiden captivated by stories, after he saves her from a river. Mirume soon unearths a mysterious black-covered book, a tome that not only foretells her own life but also hints at Shiraga Kozō's true, fantastical heritage. But this is no ordinary tale. As the book's narrative unfolds, twisting reality and blurring identities, sinister forces emerge. Cloaked in familiar faces, they seek to usurp power and plunge Aimaru Country into chaos, using ancient treasures and dark magic. With his past a forgotten dream and his future a dangerous prophecy, Shiraga Kozō must navigate a labyrinth of deceit where nothing is as it seems. What price will be paid to uncover the truth, and who will be left standing when the final page is turned. |
