Summary

Japan, 1875-6. Toki-Girl Azuki has, found another dual-natured bird-human: Eagle-Boy Akira from far-away Hokkaido. He wants to join her family and friends, but can he find a way to live as a human, in a changing society, where individual lives and wishes, count for little? Sparrow-Boy Shota knows what he wants but increasing responsibilities mean he must leave behind what he loves, to assume duties he can't escape. How can he help Akira, when he doesn't know how to help himself? Western Dragon Prince Irtysh is falling in love, but she's not only an Eastern Dragon, she's dual-natured! How can he possibly win her heart? Will these unlikely allies find a way to help each other soar? If you like compelling characters and tumultuous times mixed with enthralling Japanese folklore, you won't want to miss Claire Youmans' powerful tale of the Meiji Era
