Have you ever wished your favorite fantasy world was real?
Kiyoi did, and now she’s been sent to stay in that world until the task given to her is completed. It’s all because of a man who failed to kill Lord Kuraien, a would-be dictator determined to purge the world of the ‘unworthy.’ But despite the trials of living in a medieval world with no one to rely on, Kiyoi manages as best she can.
Until Kuraien himself takes a sickening interest in her.
In this world, her enemies are her friends and her friends are her enemies, but distinguishing between the two isn’t so black and white. And she’s going to need as many friends as she can get when her only reason for being in Hisagure is to kill Kuraien, beloved by his people. She has to succeed regardless of how hard it is, no matter what, because the penalty for failure is death.
It’s funny how premeditated murder becomes so much easier when it’s personal.
