A young art student named Karou lives in Prague, filling sketchbooks with strange creatures, running mysterious errands, and speaking many languages. Her true origins are a mystery even to herself. When she encounters a winged stranger named Akiva during a chance meeting abroad, she is drawn into an otherworldly conflict and toward uncovering the truth about who she really is. The story blends contemporary settings with fantasy elements and a central romance shadowed by a violent past.
