Born cursed, died alone, and reborn a slave with the power of a god, Shinjimura Misao believes his second life is just a continuation of his first. His fate changes when he is purchased for a fortune by Lady Seraphina, a cunning noblewoman who sees him not as a person, but as a perfect, moldable tool. Tasked with being her shadow and shield, Misao begins to learn the language of power and trust. But when his divine gifts reveal a deadly conspiracy hidden within the very walls of her home, he faces an impossible choice. To save the one person who has ever shown him a sliver of kindness, he must risk revealing the monstrous power that could make her fear him forever.
