She steals a demon's grandchild, gets entangled in a secret magical dance competition, and offends her own powerful siblings. Meanwhile, Eino, the human friend she's made, is trapped in an arranged marriage and dreams of a different life. As Shill's divine games threaten to unravel, both she and Eino must make difficult choices that could change the course of their lives forever.
