* Based on an epic fantasy novel series by Abe Chisato. In a world of yatagarasu (three-legged crows of Japanese myth), Yukiya is the lackluster second son of a regional lord in the Northern House's territory. His younger brother has overtaken him in academics, and he is no good at sword battle, either, not that this ever bothers him. So it comes as a shock to all when this boy, who claims to have no ambition whatsoever, is the one chosen to attend the Crown Prince, Nazukihiko, in Court. What awaits Yukiya and his new master is intrigue, betrayal, murder, a mysterious drug, and invasion from an unexpected enemy.
