Synopsis

Kutani and Himiko visit an archaeological excavation supervised by her father, only to be swept into an ancient world at war. The kingdom of Yamatai has fallen to invasion, while the women entrusted with its sacred power struggle to survive and resist.

Himiko's arrival becomes entangled with a prophecy and mysteries surrounding her origins. She and Kutani must navigate a conflict they barely understand while searching for a way home. Their encounters with the resistance gradually reveal the importance of the sacred flame and the responsibility Himiko may have to accept to restore the kingdom's future.
