There aren't many words Siori knows to describe the bond she has with Alis. She loves him to the point where she would die for him and she knows he feels the same way too. Though a bastard princess who's lived behind the walls of the harem all her life and him a simple stableboy, they've managed to form a bond that extends beyond the simplicity of friendship, one in which they feel entirely comfortable with the other. But when her friend's soul is stolen from him piece by piece, she can only watch as he turns into a shell of himself, a vessel empty, a candle with its flame blown out. So when she discovers a way to journey to the Spirit Realm and retrieve his stolen soul, she jumps at the chance, the journey of no consequence to help the friend that has always been by her side. But her journey is fraught with danger. To find her friend's soul in the deep dark of Underworld, she'll have to navigate the perilous ten courts within, each shadowed by the ambitious gods that control them, the hellish politics between each, and friends and foes that might want to steal a princess's soul. She has only a period of time to steal Alis's soul back- and hopefully without bringing the god's wrath down upon herself.
