時間是元祿的太平盛世。
遠離京城的東北小藩香山藩所管轄的山村慘遭一夜滅村。
九死一生的少年蓑吉逃到了和香山藩敵對的永津野藩境內,獲得永津野重臣曾谷彈正的妹妹朱音的救治。
然而蓑吉太過恐懼,封閉了那個夜晚的記憶,無人知曉蓑吉的故鄉究竟發生什麼事情。

不久永津野藩內也發生了相同的慘劇,蓑吉這才憶起那個夜晚的全貌。
一隻不可能存在的怪物竟現身人世,牠的尾巴掃過之處,寸草不留,牠的血盆大口吞下一個又一個無辜的村民……
於是蓑吉、朱音、傾慕朱音的保鏢宗榮、香山藩主的侍從‧直彌等等住在山腳,仰望山神鼻息生存的人們全被捲入了這場難以理解的災厄。

卑微的人類究竟應該如何面對突如其來的終極災難?
這隻怪物又是為了什麼,才在此時出現?
一切都得追溯到數百年前的兩藩糾葛……

일본의 시대극에 괴수물을 결합했다. 일본 특유의 주술 문화나 번 사이의 대립, 무사나 계급 사회, 정서들을 잘 조합했다. 다양한 사연과 성격의 인물들이 등장해서 이야기를 이끌어가는 것이 오밀조밀 재밌었다. 일상의 대화 속에서도 작가의 섬세함이 좋았다. 스티븐 킹 소설 읽을 때 별 거 아닌 일상도 이 사람은 읽을만 하게 잘 쓰는구나 생각했는데 미야베 미유키도 그런 느낌을 받았다.
