At ten years old, Shino was forced to leave his hometown because he bore the destiny of being the Spirit Pearls’ reincarnation. From then on, he wandered the world.
Seven years later, he had grown into a handsome young man, accomplished in both letters and arms. During his travels, he met three other boys who bore the same birthmark: the cool yet gentle Genpachi, the cheerful and clever Bungo, and the mysterious, multifaceted Keno. The threads of fate quietly drew them together. They were more than brothers: they were bound to an inescapable love and tragedy.
And Shoosuke, his childhood companion whom Shino thought he had said goodbye to forever, was also swept into their destiny. Old feelings remained, while new bonds proved hard to break. The fate of their past lives intertwined with the desires of this one, and their lives were no longer in their own hands.
Can they, reincarnations of the Spirit Pearls, break the curse and escape the chains of fate?
And can they find salvation of their own between destiny and love?
