“They want me to be a vessel for the gods. I’d rather be the architect of a new world.”

As the only daughter of the House of Sato, Akichi is a storm of rebellion trapped in a cage of sacred silk. In a kingdom that bows to ancient spirits, she is groomed to be the next Shaman Queen—a silent deity hidden from the world. But Akichi refuses to talk to ghosts. She spends her nights in a secret workshop, trading ritual dances for the strike of a forging hammer and the forbidden logic of the stars.

When celestial anomalies begin to tear the heavens apart, the old myths are no longer enough to save Yamatai. To reach the mother she is forbidden to see, Akichi must lead a circle of teenage outcasts—masters of metallurgy, mechanisms, and materials.

The stars are falling. The divine mirrors are cracking. In a land ruled by spirits, the girl who chases the constellations is about to forge a revolution.

”The age of myths is ending. The era of the artisan has begun.”
