​In the sunless world of Vorlag, a child's mistake costs her everything. When a mission to slay a powerful demon goes horribly wrong, five-year-old Kinichi Kimiko is branded the sole, cursed survivor of her village's finest demon slayer squad—and the cause of their demise. Abandoned by her people and marked with a demonic sigil by the very creature who orchestrated her family's slaughter, she is left to die in the unforgiving wilderness of the Shadow-Wood.  

​But she does not die. For years, she survives, honed by hunger, rage, and the strange, brutal gift of her curse: flashes of foresight that show her every fatal misstep. Shedding her name to become "No One," she transforms from a frightened child into a self-taught warrior, a ghost haunting the edges of a world that despises her.  

​Now, driven by a cold need for vengeance against demons and a deep-seated hatred for the humans who betrayed her, No One walks a path paved with blood and ash. To some, she is a monster—a harbinger of destruction who leaves only ruins in her wake. To others, she is a savior, the only hope against the horrors that plague the land.  

​Caught between instinct and ash, she must confront the darkness of her world, her enemies, and the chilling reflection she sees in the mirror. Is she a weapon forged by a demon's will, or can she carve a new fate from a life that began in tragedy?
