--> "Actions change our course, influence our futures, but intentions define us, empower us. Without intent, we are nothing."

Since she was young, Emi had known that her destiny was to become the ''kamigakari'', or mortal host, of the ''kami'' [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Amaterasu]], a process that would consume her spirit and replace it with Amaterasu's presence so that she may carry out her godly business on Earth. Emi came to terms with this fact early on, spending the next decade since then living a life of purity so her physical form may remain intact once Amaterasu descends. However, everything changes when she comes upon a kitsune named Shiro, whose powers are sealed behind several strands of beads and needs her help to remove them so that he can regain them. Not only that, but dangerous yokai are coming to seek Emi out, as the time for her to face her destiny grows ever nigh.

!! This book series contains the following tropes:
* AsianFoxSpirit: Shiro is a kitsune whose powers are sealed by strands of magical beads. With each band removed, he regains his tails, and thus more of his powers. [[spoiler:Upon the removal of the last strand, he regains all nine of his tails and reaches his full power as Inari, patron kami of the kitsune.]]
* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Amaterasu is a wind kami in this series rather than the goddess of the Sun like she is in real-world Shintoism.
* CantHaveSexEver: Part of Emi's efforts to retain her ''makoto no kokoro'', or purity, to ensure that her body isn't destroyed when Amaterasu comes to claim her include abstaining from physical intimacy. [[spoiler:Once she realizes that her ''makoto no kokoro'' would remain intact so long as she acted with love, Emi and Shiro end up having TheirFirstTime not long after.]]
* {{Expy}}: Shiro is one to Anime/{{Inuyasha}}, as both are LittleBitBeastly {{Yokai}} with MysticalWhiteHair who are bound to their respective heroines thanks to some magical beads (though in Shiro's case, he needs Emi to help him ''remove'' the beads)/
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: [[spoiler: In the epilogue of ''Immortal Fire'', Emi realizes that she has been made immortal by Amaterasu entering her body when she realizes that she hasn't aged past eighteen even though she is chronologically twenty-five.]]
* MuggleAndMagicalLoveTriangle: Early on, Emi is undecided on whether or not she has feelings for her ChildhoodFriend Katsuo or the mysterious kitsune Shiro. [[spoiler: She chooses Shiro.]]
* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: While all of the humans have black or brown hair, the kami and yokai can have hair that run the gamut of red, blue, green, [[MysticalWhiteHair white]], and so on.
