“It was on a night as dark as the new moon… That I first heard your voice.” Ume, once married but cast aside for being barren, returns in shame to her home village—only to find it stricken by famine and grief. With her adoptive parents dead from disease, she is utterly alone in the world. Now, to appease the mountain god believed to bring fortune, the village decides to offer a maiden sacrifice. Though no longer a true maiden, Ume claims to be one and volunteers to become the sacrifice, hoping to give her lonely life meaning. Awaiting her deep in the mountains is a mysterious deity: the Wolf God, with flowing silver hair and claws shimmering in five divine colors. His presence is terrifying... yet heartbreakingly kind. A haunting, tender tale of falsehood, fate, and a divine love born under a moonless sky.
