The first in an epic new dream series, bringing out an unforgettable new heroine and a stunningly original dystopian steampunk world with a taste of feudal Japan. A Dying Land The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island nation once abundant with tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red as blood vessels, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the fantastic spirit pets that once roamed its wilds have departed forever. An Impossible Mission The hunters of Shima's imperial court are costed by their Shogun to fully capture a thunder tiger - a renowned creature, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool has learned the beasts have been extinct for greater than a century, and the price tag on faltering the Shogun is loss of life. A Hidden Product Yukiko is a kid of the Fox clan, possessed of the talent that if uncovered, would see her executed by the Lotus Guild. Associated her daddy on the Shogun's hunt, she locates herself stranded: a young woman only in Shima's last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for company. Even though she can notice his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she has learned for several is he'd rather see her dead than help her. But alongside one another, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and climb to challenge the might of empire.
