She stands close enough to see everything, but never enough to be chosen. Every smile he gives, every word he says, it's all for someone else. And all she can do is watch, silently breaking.

For as long as she could remember, Chandra Akessia had wondered what it would feel like to be someone's first choice, what it would feel like to have someone who would stay by her side when everything around her felt dark, and someone who could be her light when she could no longer find her own. Someone who would see the parts of her she tried to hide and still choose her. She even often thought of herself as a forgotten lamp, waiting for someone to turn her on and remind her that she was never meant to stay in the dark.

ASHES OF KYOTO - 京都の灰 Kyoto. An era where samurai rule the streets, ninja clans operate from the shadows, and ancient secrets refuse to stay buried. Kaze Sōne escaped the life chosen for her. Born into the Sōne clan, she was raised to become a weapon. Instead, she chose another life-a life as a geiko, far away from bloodshed, missions, and the clan that raised her. With her husband, Kenji Taketsuna, she finally believes she has found peace. Then the dreams begin. A stranger's voice. A dying man. A mark beneath her skin that she cannot explain. And somewhere beneath Kyoto, an ancient Scroll begins to awaken. The Scroll has chosen Kaze. And with that choice comes a decision that has destroyed lives for generations: Revenge. Or Balance. One could turn Kyoto against itself. The other will take her soul. As the Sōne clan closes in and the line between memory and reality begins to disappear, Kaze must uncover the truth behind the Scroll-and the forgotten souls trapped within it. Because the most dangerous thing about the past... is that it remembers you.
