Oriana would have never seen her life turn out the way it had. She had been kidnapped, lost her memories, had her soul and body separated, been stalked by an angry goddess and been thrown head first into the world of the Others.
A few months later, the goddess Izanami remains locked away behind the renewed seal and Oriana has been able to leave the well room intact. As her body was in poor shape, she is finally well enough to go about living. But how does she do that? She can't go home until the problem of Izanami is dealt with permanently, and that leaves her few options. While she is doing her best to adapt to her new life, and her blatantly bespelled body, it would be a lot easier if those around her would answer all of her questions.
Ciel has been different since her return, people are disappearing to be returned dead, and three disturbing women give her a message that makes her uneasy. Combined together, she fears Izanami is a larger problem than she had hoped. When they discover that someone - or something - is manipulating time, the goddess might not be their only problem.
With her emotions becoming strangely out of her control at exactly the wrong time, Oriana has to face her own shortcomings. If she doesn't manage to soon, she may be condemning those she loves to a painful future. But first, she needs to discover if she is willing to do what needs to be done - even if it means the future she seeks isn't hers to enjoy.
