Sakura Seaman, an adopted girl haunted by years of foster care abuse, emerged as a high school graduate who struggled with crippling social anxiety. Her heart ached for a sense of belonging. She believed that college wasn't an ideal option for her due to her low IQ. Instead, she desired to search for her biological family.
Her life took an unexpected turn when her boyfriend, Athen, revealed her life was in danger. Acting on behalf of Sakura's biological mother, he informed Sakura that warmongers were seeking to capture her for the extraordinary powers awarded to her by the Shinto Gods. One of the powers was the ability to shapeshift into a wolf.
Prepared to give his life to protect her, Athen took Sakura to her true home to prepare for an impending war.
