Axol has always known his place. As the familiar to Serina—mermaid, witch-in-training, and daughter of the infamous Sea Witch Melusine—he cleans up her spell disasters, cooks her meals, and tries to keep her out of trouble. Even after she gifted him with speech through magic, he’s still just her adorable pet. A talking axolotl. A servant. But from Axol’s perspective? He’s her guardian. And he’s terrified. Serina may be sweet, but she’s reckless, spoiled, and entirely too much like her mother for comfort.

In the shadowed corridors of Himeji Castle, forbidden love blooms between the servant Okiku and a prisoner, the enigmatic ronin Shinji. Okiku’s duties and desires collide as she’s torn between loyalty and longing. Yet Aoyama Tessan, a samurai with dark obsessions, covets her fiercely. When a plate goes missing, betrayal, jealousy, and murder unravel Okiku’s life, thrusting her into a nightmare beyond death. Returning as an onryou, her vengeance is bound to her love—but will fury consume her soul?
