Synopsis

Sora Fallcrest always dreamed of adventure, but as a member of the nobility, she learned the ways of a Lady instead. Now seventeen, she is expected to choose a husband and marry. She plots to run away, but just as she is stepping out the door, she is kidnapped by a mysterious stranger!

Plunged into a world of magical races and forgotten lore, she finds herself at the mercy of a dangerous assassin: a man of few words haunted by a dark past. A powerful bloodmage pursues the assassin on a quest for revenge, and Sora is now caught in the middle. Her Cat's-Eye necklace is the only thing that can save the assassin's life, and he won't let her go until the bloodmage is defeated.

The Cat's-Eye necklace was given to Sora by her mother, who vanished shortly after Sora's birth. She always thought of it as a family heirloom. In truth, the Cat's-Eye necklace is an ancient weapon from the long forgotten War of the Races, and its magic has the ability to steal souls. Can Sora learn to wield its power, or will the power wield her?
