"Then take me on as a sacrifice for the karasu-tengu." There is a legend that Lord Rivu, a crow tengu, presides over Suzu Village. However, ravaging storms and winds lay waste to the crops year after year, and the villagers are desperate for succor. To appease the wrathful deity, the villagers offer a bridal candidate every year to the crow tengu in exchange for a quiet, bountiful season. Now, it's Yana’s turn to become the next sacrifice. She counts down the days by tending to Lord Rivu’s shrine and learning how to be a perfect bride. To her dismay, Lord Rivu sends down his personal servant, Rinsho, to keep watch over her. Ribbons of fate, bonds, and identity entwine—but does Yana choose to protect the village, or will she defy her fate as the crow tengu’s bride? It begs the question…how does one earn the love of a deity?
