When Shield Lee and her Source Shintaro return home to High Scape, they're hoping for a little peace—but the town has other plans. A disturbing obsession with ritualistic magic has taken hold, and people are becoming increasingly desperate (and dangerous) in their pursuit of human remains. Lee and Shintaro find themselves caught between protecting a community spiraling into darkness and uncovering the truth behind this sinister magic before more lives are lost. It's a gripping tale that combines the thrill of mystery with the deep partnership between two people who've learned to trust each other completely.
