HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT A HEART? In the Empress's great palace lives an orphaned girl named Nada. She slips through the shadows of the Court unseen by anyone, except for the Great Demon of the palace and her true friend, Prince Kirin, heir to the throne. When Kirin is kidnapped, only Nada and the prince's bodyguard suspect that he may have been kidnapped by the Maiden-Devouring Sorceress, a powerful woman who has haunted the region for decades. The Sorceress has never bothered to kidnap children before, but Nada has uncovered many secrets in the sixteen years she has lived in the palace, including some about the prince. As the Empress's army embarks on a fruitless search, Nada and the bodyguard set out on a rescue mission through forests plagued by demons and crossroads guarded by spirits. Their journey takes them to the gates of the Fifth Mountain, where the Sorceress wields her power. There, Nada will discover that magic is a deal, and she may be more powerful than she even imagines. But the price the Sorceress demands for Kirin could cost Nada her own heart.
