A Thousand Steps into Night

In the realm of Awara, where gods, monsters, and men exist side by side, Miuko is simply an ordinary girl. But when Miuko is cursed and begins to turn into a blue demon whose touch is deadly, she must set off on an expedition in the hope of reversing the transformation. Aided by a thieving magpie and continuously thwarted by a demon prince, Miuko’s journey through the mortal and spiritual worlds is littered with burning temples, spirits, and towns being swallowed by the earth. But power is seductive for a girl who was once average, and she’ll have to decide if saving her soul from shadows is worth blending into them once again.
