Dao He is a monastery that rises like a predatory bird in the east of the Air kingdom. She spent her whole life within its walls and it seemed she had long ago lost her “self” in the dark folds of the school‑girl uniform. But now the great day has come when, like any true Shadow, she must “find her face.” What awaits her next? What turn of fate has been prepared for her? A long journey? A land drowning in ice and magic? Love? Which of these will become real for someone like her?
Ahead lies a long, full of dangers journey, the mystery of her own birth, and a curse that she has yet to overcome.
