Companion of Flames

In the 18th century Japan, Mikaela Shindo, the adopted son of the noble Emperor Hanzo-Kei Shindo, is at the age for an arranged marriage to take place. The distant and apathetic young man is neither prepared nor content about his parents finding a companion for him. This leads Mikaela to go against his honorable parents and put his future spouse through utmost misery; however, the glorious light within his to-be spouse sparks an iridescent understanding within Mikaela, soon realizing that his companion is simply all he needs to drown the pain and suffering of his past, present and future, and the important, shameful secret that he's kept within himself his entire life.
