In a world where ancient magic flows through the land and mythical creatures dwell alongside humanity, a rare gift known as a 'Sleigh Beggy' marks its bearer as someone capable of drawing the supernatural near — though whether this is a blessing or a burden remains a haunting question. Chise Hatori has spent her young life on the fringes of society, unable to connect with those around her and carrying wounds both seen and unseen. Desperate and without direction, she makes a striking choice: to sell herself at auction, surrendering any claim over her own future. It is there that Elias Ainsworth — a towering figure with a beast's skull for a head and command over forces beyond ordinary understanding — enters her world. Now living within a home filled with faeries, spirits, and wonders beyond imagination, Chise begins a life utterly unlike anything she has ever known.
