FEATHERS OF FATE
The Yamei Palace has become a much less lonely place—despite Jusetsu’s predecessor’s warnings—but the Raven Consort still cannot truly escape the emptiness in her heart. There’s no shortage of visitors who come in the evenings to ask for her help, and tonight is no exception. A mystery within the Hakkaku Palace leads Jusetsu to come across the Eight True Teachings, a religion threatening faith in Uren Niangniang. Meanwhile, Koshun discovers a glimmer of hope that could free Jusetsu from the Raven once and for all. Will the two of them continue to work together?

A tale of dark magic and court intrigue in a setting inspired by historical China--now an anime!
Deep within the palace’s walls lives the secluded and mysterious Raven Consort. Some say she is an old woman, while others claim she is young and beautiful. What all stories agree upon is that she has the power to exorcise spirits, lay fatal curses, and find lost objects—for a price. When the young emperor arrives at the door of the Raven Consort seeking magical assistance, his request could shake up the palace…or perhaps even the entire kingdom.
