In Steyca, creatures stalk the deserts. Steycans have adopted a ritual to combat them. Select few consume the hearts of the desertstalkers, Gengua, and become Lianhua. Gengua live on human blood and flesh, Lianhua submitting to live by consuming the Gēngúa they hunt.
In more modern times many provinces can get by without Lianhua, subsiting on formidable fully-human hunters paired with Lianhua partners. Mako Sayota comes from a formidable family of hunters, but despite great training, she failed consistently at proving herself to be a warrior of her family’s standard. As a last resort, she choose to become a Lianhua.

Unfortunately for her, she becomes tangled up in the life of a Gengua girl, and struggling between her, her family and her estranged childhood friends, Mako's life spirals out of control.
