  Summary

  Born under a blood-red moon, twin sisters Aiko and Akari Mochizuki were destined for balance—and rivalry. Aiko, the gentle heir. Akari, the untamed prodigy left in her shadow.

  Denied her birthright, Akari becomes the clan’s hidden blade—protecting the sister who took her place, mastering forbidden arts, and walking the line between duty and darkness.

  This is the story of the twin who wasn’t chosen—
  The sister left to walk in the shadow of her other half.
