Raven of the Inner Palace (Light Novel) Vol. 4

MISSING OBJECTS, HIDDEN TRUTHS A number of things are disappearing around the imperial estate—several prized silkworm cocoons are missing from the Hakkaku Palace, and Kajo gets pulled into a search for another mysteriously lost object. As these happenings occur, Jusetsu and Koshun continue their investigation into what truly happened in the past. Might a nameless ghost hold the key, or does the truth lie elsewhere? Series Overview: Deep within the palace’s walls lives the secluded and mysterious Raven Consort. Some say she is an old woman, while others claim she is young and beautiful. What all stories agree upon is that she has the power to exorcise spirits, lay fatal curses, and find lost objects—for a price. When the young emperor arrives at the door of the Raven Consort seeking magical assistance, his request could shake up the palace…or perhaps even the entire kingdom.
