Dark secrets and forbidden romance collide in this gripping tale of Ethereal Guardians facing both matters of the heart and ancient Spectral Resonance. When former student Mizuki finds herself drawn back to Kansei Enclave by the magnetic Kaoru Tenmei, their dangerous attraction threatens to spiral out of control. “What the hell am I doing?” she questions herself, even as she's unable to resist his pull.

Meanwhile, while cleaning out his late grandfather's home, Ren Aisaka discovers a mysterious artifact that will change everything. “Never seen this before...” he mutters, unaware that the simple stone amulet holds an ancient power waiting to break free. When the artifact shatters under mysterious circumstances, it sets off a chain of events that could unleash an ancient evil.

As Kaoru races against time to prevent disaster, he faces a horrifying realization: “Whatever was inside wouldn’t just be running around. A wraith like this doesn’t function on its own—it needs something. A compatible host, typically; most likely a Guardian.”

When duty and desire collide, who will survive the awakening of a long-dormant evil? "Best case scenario, there was nothing there to begin with... Worst case scenario, some evil spirit wakes up and comes to wreak havoc at any moment now."
