Dayamanti withdraws from the world after tragedy strikes at The Cherry Blossom Ball. She moves through the motions of daily life, attending a funeral while struggling to process her grief. Slowly, she begins to feel human again. Then an impossible opportunity presents itself. She can undo the catastrophic events that shattered her world. The path leads straight into the Underworld, where she must recover what was taken from her. The clock starts ticking the moment she accepts the challenge. Thirteen hours. That's all the time she has to navigate the realm of the dead and return with her prize. Failure means death, but Dayamanti has already lost everything that matters. She will risk her life for the chance to bring him back. This is a story about the lengths we go to for love, and whether some losses are too great to accept.
